All about Kildalkey

• 

Over the past month, the children have been learning all about their village of Kildalkey! We learned lots of new interesting facts that we didn't know already! 

One thing we learned about is our patron Saint, St. Dympna.  St. Dympna lived in Kildalkey hundreds and hundreds of years ago in an Abbey.  The ruins of the abbey can be found beside the old graveyard.  There is also a well named after her, called St. Dympna's Well.  It is believed that if you have a headache, it will be cured at the well by dipping a ribbon into the water and wrapping it around your head.
