I have just recently found out that there is a Saint Maura and I was so pleased to know I was called after a Saint. I never heard of her before this. Where would you get more information about her? Is she a sister of St. Brigid of Faughart in County Louth? that is another coincidence as I come from Dundalk and my family and I would visit Faughart quite regularly. God Bless all, Maura
