The annual Good Friday rosary will take place at Sunday’s Well, Fermoyle, Banteer on March 29th @ 5pm.

Sunday’s Well which is located in the townland of Fermoyle, Banteer, has been a major part of the religious history within the parish of Banteer.

The well is situated on a height across from the quarry on the Ballalley road. The peace and tranquility at the well is something to be experienced.

Traditionally the well was visited by locals on Good Fridays and also on three consecutive days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) throughout the year, by people in search for a cure for sore eyes.

Local information suggests that a stonemason was cured of blindness following a visit to the well. In gratitude he carried out the stonework that can be found at the well today. A Mass Rock is situated beside the well and was used in penal times to say Mass.

In recent years, the well and Mass rock has been restored and the Good Friday tradition has been reestablished.
