    of Corratinure there is a holy well called St. Phelim's Well. There used to be a procession to this well every year about twenty five years ago, but there is no well there now. It is said that a woman washed clothes at this well and the next day it went dry.
    The woman broke her leg soon afterwards.
    I live in the parish of Lurgan. there are three catholic Churches in this parish namely - Virginia, Lurgan, and Maghera.
    Virginia Church is the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Lurgan Church is the Church of St Patrick and Maghera Church is the Church of St Matthew.
