Saint Fursey (also known as Fursa, Fursy, Forseus, and Furseus: died 650) was an Irish monk who did much to establish Christianity throughout the British Isles and particularly in East Anglia. He reportedly experienced angelic visions of the afterlife. Fursey is one of the Four Comely Saints.
He was born in the region of modern-day Connacht supposedly the son of Fintan and grandson of Finlog, pagan king of the area. His mother was Gelges, the Christian daughter of Aed-Finn, king of Connacht. He was born probably amongst the Hy-Bruin, and was baptised by St Brendan the Traveller, his father's uncle, who then ruled a monastery in the Island of Oirbsen, now called Inisquin in Lough Corrib. He was educated by St Brendan's monks, and when he became of the proper age he was inducted into the monastery at Inisquin (near Galway), under the Abbot St Meldan, his "soul-friend" (anam-chura), where he devoted himself to religious life. His great sanctity was early discerned, and there is a legend that here, through his prayers, twin children of a chieftain related to King Brendinus were raised from the dead. He built his own monastery in Claran outside the town of Headford in Co. Galway and he became the patron saint of the Parish of Headford.

St. Fursey's N.S. 4th & 5th class have created a video to promote our "Brown Money for Bóthar" appeal being run throughout the school. We are using this video as our entry to the Irish aid awards. Ms Higgins' 4th and 5th class rewrote the lyrics to "No Money" by Galantis to promote our cause. The children created the storyboard, recorded their song and planned the entire video by themselves. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and effort. If you have any brown money at home please bring it in before Friday the 7th of April. Thanks for all of your donations so far
A beautiful little gem of a church. A great place to pray.
