  1. In the Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    In the penal times priests were prevented from saying Mass and the Catholic Churches were closed and the soldiers tried to banish the priests out of the country altogether.
    Mass was then said in far away places. Mass was said in Bridgetown about three miles from the village of Castletownroche and it was said in Kilcummer about a mile and a half from the town. Priests hid in the Nagles' Mts. and in caves about Castle Widenham. There is a tree in Annesgrove where priests are said to have hidden in a hollow trunk.
