School of Tuam

It was founded when Brendan told Jarlath to go eastward from Cluainfois (now Cloonfush) and where his wheel of his chariot should break on the journey "there you shall build your oratory, for God will that there shall be the place of your resurrection, and many shall arise in glory in the same place along with you".Soon after Jarlath departed Cluainfois, his chariot broke down on the site of the present Protestant, formally Catholic, cathedral in Tuam where he built his church and monastic school.There is reference in the "Four Masters", under date 776, to the death of an Abbot of Tuam, Nuada O'Bolcan.Under the same date in the "Annals of Ulster", there is reference to the death of Ferdomnach of Tuaim da Ghualann.The "Four Masters" call him Comarb of Jarlath and High Bishop of Tuam.
