- In Rosscarbery, Co. Cork, the remains of Saint John's tomb is still to be seen. T
Father John Power was a very holy man. He cured people whenever they came to him to be cured. Even at the present day, though St. John is dead, it is said that people are still cured. Numbers of people go there to make rounds on St. John's eve. These rounds are most useful to the people who make them. They are really like acts of penance. I am not sure whether he had a school there or not. I have never seen this tomb but I have often heard of it, and the old people know a lot more about than I do. I cannot tell any more about it.
