  1. The Local Patron Saint

    Share Share Post
    Saint Ailbe is the patron saint of this district. There is a great school in Emly founded by St. Ailbe in or about the year 470. In the year 1123 the See of Emly was plundered by the Danes and the mitre of St. Ailbe which had been preserved in the Cathedral with great veneration was burned by the robbers.
