An Old Story
“In her garden situated in Barnfield, Backs, Co. Mayo, there is a stone on which Mass was offered many years ago.”
In her garden situated in Barnfield, Backs, Co. Mayo, there is a stone on which Mass was offered many years ago. The priest that used to say Mass was Father Mangan.
He built a house on the north west of the Crossroads of Currabaggan, Backs, Co Mayo. Before he came to live to it he died.
