    Share Share Post
    Saint Fionnacta is the patron St. of this parish. The ruins of his church are still to be seen at Ballysheen.
    The Danes threw the Chalice and bell into the river O'Garney, and it is said that the bell rings every years.
    At Sixmilebridge Parish Church there is a coloured cut glass image.
    Before he died he blessed the parish, and said that no one ever be killed by lightning.
