   The Landlord (Whitney of Newpass) refused a site on or near the village. Then Bond gave the present one. Whitney changed his mind later but the priest would not accept his offer then and further said that their landlord would never see the new Church. He was blind before it was built.

   Another version is that Lady Fetherston of Ardagh, Co Longford was landlord of Rathowen and that it was she who refused the site.

   Fr. Owen O'Reilly brother of Fr. James was C.C. and his elder brother from 1866-71. On his brother's death he became P.P.
   He died Jan 1884 aged 71

   Fr. Lynch was Adm. for Fr. O'Reilly, before becoming a priest, he was in the Police Force. (D.M.P.) it is stated.

   Fr. Michael Kelly P.P. succeeded Fr Lynch who was transferred to some other part of the diocese. Fr. Kelly died 12th March 1892, aged 49.

   Fr. Redahan P.P. succeeded, transferred later to Legan and still later to Colmcille where he died nearly 20 years ago.
   A brother of his was a famous doctor in Mohill Co Leitrim. This man also spent some time in Maynooth preparing for the priesthood. On changing his mind he took up medicine. He died comparatively young, appearing to be in his early sixties.
