Summary
The history of the Catholic Church in Morar.
Paul Galbraith talks about the history of the Catholic Church in Morar. He also talks about the Fair Isle, where the old missionaries were after the Reformation. The Reformation didn't have an effect on Morar due to its peninsular locality, being surrounded by hills and no access roads. For this reason the Catholic faith has always survived there.
There was a seminary there for young boys who were interested in the priesthood, but due to lack of students it is now closed and is a private family house.
