  1. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    Some years ago during the "Penal Times" there was Mass-Paths in many places. The people could not get to Mass any other way. Mass was celebrated in fields and people's houses and the priests were not let stay in the country. They used to hide in houses. There was a small church in Kyle. The soldiers burned this Church. The took the Holy Water font and buried it. There is a field in Ballypracus and Mass was celebrated in a corner of that field.
