    (continued from previous page)
    when the priest was celebrating Mass and the people were kneeling in admiration, they were disturbed by the noise of dogs attacking sheep on the mountain side near by. They continued their prayers at Mass and when Mass was over the people went to inquire of the men that were on sentry. They told them that they neither saw nor heard any dogs. There were always sentries left out to watch afraid that the soldiers would discover that a Priest was saying Mass.
