Father Moore’s Holy Well in Miltown, Co. Kildare, Ireland 1970
Pilgrims continue to visit a well near Miltown in Kildare in the hope of obtaining a cure for a range ailments.
Situated on the Curragh plains near the village of Miltown, Father Moore’s Well is one of the best known holy wells in County Kildare.
The patron of the well Father John Moore was born in 1779. It is believed he had healing powers and could perform supernatural acts such as lighting candles with his breath.
Prior to his death in 1926, Father Moore is thought to have blessed the well so that pilgrims could continue to receive cures after his death.
It’s a good 144 years since the gifted Father Moore performed his seemingly miraculous works on the unfortunate sick, but even today the cure still holds good.
Death has not stopped Father Moore from administering to his flock. The well sees a constant stream of pilgrims every Sunday.
Patrick McCormack tells of a boy born without sight, who, after his third visit to the well had full vision. The abandoned crutches at the well used to belong to a man from Carbery in County Cork who was also cured on his third visit to the well.
A month ago local man Joe Ryan met a woman cured of paralysis because of the well. He explains the well’s healing power comes from drinking the water combined with prayer. He regularly drinks the water himself.
Isn’t that what has me alive.
Father Moore’s hat is also an object of veneration. It is said to have the power to cure headaches and problems relating to sight or hearing. The hat has been in the care of the Forde family since Father Moore’s death. Thomas Forde is the hat’s present custodian.
You put it on your head, kneel down, say a few prayers.
There is no charge for access to the hat and it does not require any special box or maintenance,
It will take care of itself.
The hat looks shabby because people regularly try to tear off pieces to keep as souvenirs.

This is very precious to see. Thank you so much!
Glory be to God...
There are many Healing Wells in Ireland. And people have great faith in the magic of them. It's a little Catholic and a little Pagan . But, it works .
Wonderful thank you 🙏
Fr. Moore's well is still there

We should, but they can't perform miracles that big.
Ts still there people going to it every day
Some people would believe in anything.
I have a brother who is a missionary priest in one of the poorest areas of Tanzania for 40 years and has built schools, and hospitals, water wells etc. My brother has always suffered from several migraine headaches since he was a little boy, his headaches have got much worse over the past 30 years or so and sometimes is laid up for a few days at a time recovering from those headaches, he is due to return back home in July 2023 for a few weeks to spend some time with family. I would be wonderful if it were possible for my brother to fit on this hat in the hope that he is cured. Please let me know if that was possible
