  1. In the Penal Days

    Share Share Post
    Penal days were very cruel days for the people in this district. Their children could not be sent to a Catholic school. Long ago the people went by a people path path of Mass. This was called "Mass Path." Mass used to be said in the open at Drumcannon. Special houses were built in secret places for saying Mass.
