- St Fionnacta is the patron St. of Sixmilebridge. His chapel is in Ballysheen, about half a mile from this village of Sixmilebridge. The ruins of it are still to be seen.
The chalice and bell were thrown into the river O'Garney by the Danes and is it said that the bell rings every seven years.
Before he died he prayed to God that no one in Sixmilebridge would get killed with lightning.- Collector
