Story
“When the Stranorlar Donegal Railway was being constructed the workmen found a chalice.”
When the Stranorlar Donegal Railway was being constructed the workmen found a chalice. They at once sent for Father Boyle who took possession of it. He told the workmen to make a stone cross immediately and to erect it on the spot where the chalice was found.
This cross is still to be seen at Sessiaghoneill and resembles the badge of the Eucharistic Congress which was held in Ireland in the year 1932.- Collector
