   In winter when the weather got cold, we carried large stones into the church and placed them around a fire which was lighted on the floor in the centre of the church. We sat on the stones with our feet almost touching the fire. There was no chimney in the church which became filled with smoke in a short time, but we did not mind this. We thought the smoke warmed the place.
   On Sundays, the teacher sat inside the sanctuary rails and read the catechism question and answer, for any of the congregation who were present. The catechism was in Irish. The priests exhorted the people to remain in for the catechism. Before Richard Nally's time, there was a teacher by the name of O'Sullivan.
   In the village of Hollymount, which is about a mile away there was a Protestant school. During the "bad-times" of 1848 and 1881, the local parson had 'stir-a-bout" made in a big cauldron for any poor Catholic children who would attend the Protestant school.
