    Long ago people used to hold station in a public house every year. This was a great event for the people. The Priest would come and given Confession and Holy Communion.
    There was a well in Ireland long ago and everyone used to get water from it. It was covered with a big stone, and who-ever left the stone off it, the water would flow over the land.
    One day a woman went to this well for water and she was in a hurry, and she left the stone off it. The water rushed over the land and formed Lough Neigh.
