  1. Another Cure

    Share Share Post
    A woman in the parish, had a very delicate child, about twelve years old, who was unable to walk. She wished to have the child confirmed and made up her mind, to carry the child to the Bishop. She was advised to taking the child to the Well. She did so, and bathed the child in the water, and the child walked home cured. This happened long before the cure of the priest.
