  1. Our Local Patron Saint

    Share Share Post
    Our Local Patron Saint Saint Grellan is the patron saint of our parish. He built a church in Kilclooney. A mile from this church there is a well called Saint Grellan's well. Sometimes people go to visit this well. The people drink this water for a cure. People are buried in this church now. The ruins of this church are still to be seen. Some people are called Grellan after St. Grellan.
