  2. Long ago Mr. Walsh use't to keep the children for catechism after Mass. He thought that nobody was as good as himself at catechism. One day Raftery came into the Chapel. Mr Walsh asked him who was the Blessed Virgin Mary's mother and Raftery answered St. Ann. Then Raftery asked Mr. Walsh who was St. Ann's mother and Mr. Walsh was puzzled. Raftery knew that Mr Walsh was'ent good at catechsim.
