  1. Fr. O'Byrne of Dun-Laoghaire (ues) used to go into the church on his way home from school, every day. One day while he was praying before the Sacred Heart Statue the figure beckoned to him and said, "Follow Me". When he got home, he told his mother, but she would not believe him. He afterwards became a priest.
