    There was Mass celebrated by Father McQuillen in my district on Dún Hill in olden times. This was the nearest place in my district for Mass to be celebrated and people came from all parts of the country to Mass.

  2. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    There is a hill in Doo a few miles from this school. There is a split in the side of the hill which leaves a big space in the front of it. In this space Mass was said long ago. Somebody was put on the top of the hill to watch for fear soldiers would catch the priest.
    There were men also hunting after the priests. They were called priest hunters.
