  1. Saint Senan is the patron Saint of this district. This is a miracle he worked.
    One Sunday Saint Senan's father and mother told him that he should stop at home from mass and mind the birds from the corm. When they were gone to Mass he gathered all the birds and put them into the barn and went to Mass. When his father and mother saw him they thought that the corn would be destroyed. When they came home they found all the birds inside in the cabin and a harrow keeping them in. There is a lake called after him. There are a great many people called after him.
