    Tissaran, in the Parish of Moystown, in the county Offaly, is a very interesting place situated about one mile from our school. There we find the remains of an old church built by Saint Saran, a pupil of Saint Kieran, in about the sixth century.
    Every year on the feast of the Patron Saint Saran, people go on pilgrimages to this church-yard, there is a holy well to which pilgrimages are made yearly. The water of this well is used to cure certain diseases.
