  1. In Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    In the penal times the Irish people suffered much for their Faith. The priests were not allowed to say Mass and they were hunted into the woods and glens and mountains.
    The priests hid themselves in caves and they said Mass in the woods.
    There was an altar erected of rough stone in a little wood in Uragh. This may be seen to the present day. It is far from the road in a secluded spot. Mass was said at this altar in penal times.
