Devotions to Father Bernane, Moulivard, Durrus, 28th June, Holy Well Visitation at Kil-na-Comoge, Kealkil, Lady’s Day 15th August, Pilgrimage to St. Finbarr, Gougán Barra, West Cork, 25th September.

The various practices of rounds, visitation of holy wells, polgrimages probably predate even the coming of the Celts to Ireland. These prctices were customised to particular localities and ofte a Christian saint replaced the olden diety.
