   Story

   There is a story told about a Priest, that was holding a station in a house in the village of Gannoveen, in the parish of Clontuskert. The Priest's name was Fr. Costello. The people did not wish for him to hold the station, and they tried to stop him. When the Priest was going, he had to pass through a field. The owner of the field came before the Priest, and tried to stop him, but he said "stand there until I come back". At that moment the man stood as if he were stuck to the ground, and he could not move until the Priest had the station over.
