- East of our school over in Killeen there was a little church and priests used say mass there. People of the neighbourhood used attend the mass. The ruins of the church can still be seen in Timothy Mc Carthy's field.
One morning while a priest was saying mass he heard soldiers coming so he ran away and finished his mass in Kilcummin. Another story was told that a priest was saying mass in Killeen church he was hunted by soldiers. He hid his chalice near Killeen house. In the spot where the chalice was hidden a spring well sprung up.
