  1. Saint Odhran is the Patron Saint of this parish. He is a native of Latteragh in the parish of Templederry. He built a monastery in Kilmore and another in Latteragh. Kilmore of 'Cill Mór' means the church. The ruins of it are still to be seen. It is now a graveyard.
    There was a miracle performed in Kilmore, it happened that a certain widows only son died and when he was being brought to the graveyard, the widow saw the two priests she ran to them and went on her knees and begged them to bring her son to life. St Senan took the body into a room in the monastery and prayed over it and behold the man came to life.
