   The Local Patron Saint

   The Saint that is connected with Kiltormer is Saint Patrick. There is a holy well a short distance from the village and it is called Saint Patrick's Well to the present day. When Saint Patrick was teaching the faith to the people of Kiltormer he baptised them at that well and it is said that he afterwards blessed it. He also blessed a tree that is growing beside the well. It is supposed to be a very old tree and it is growing all the time. The only support it has to keep it up is a light thin bark at the butt and the top of it is a big branch. There were two big trees knocked by a storm but there was no damage done to this tree. People come from different districts to do stations around this and the well once a year.
