When all that family dies the Shrine was given to Kellegher and he sold it to the Rev. Beresford. The Rev. Beresford gave the Shrine to the Library of Armagh where it is still in a good state of preservation. The bell was kept in the Shrine. Saint Mogue used to call the people to prayer with the bell.
