    called St. Matthews Church also. On the 21st of September all the people in the Parish go to Mass, and Holy Communion, and there is Confession the day before. It is called the "Patron" day.
    An old man told me that it is said locally that St. Brigid made a pond at the Church, which she got built at Killare and it is said that a small stream flows form the pond increasing in size and from that river all the mills in the locality are driven. A lot of people are called after St. Brigid in this locality.
