    people coming home from Mass that he was dead While he lay in the ditch with his eyes closed. When the people did come he was dead stuck fast in the mud. It took a large number of men and horses to pull him out.
    He had a bush chair in the hedge and Kit Lynam cut it down and he lost the sight of one of his eyes next day.

  2. Religious Story

    Share Share Post
    Long ago there lived in Kildalkey a very holy man named Fr. Grogan. He used to stop in my house and upstairs in a little small room in which I now sleep he read Holy Mass several times.
    This Fr. Grogan was a very old man and every Saturday he heard Confessions also in my house.
