There were two Saints in this parish namely St. Mogue and Saint Molaise.St. Molaise lived in the townland of Dernahemrick. He had his monastery situated near a by-road called "Tobar" about six miles from Manorhamilton and three from Garrison on the Ballaghameehan road.

This day he was saying mass and when he came as far as the Gospel he noticed that the leaf was gone. He turned round and said a few words up
