Brother Conway records how a friend of Kathleen was relieved of a long standing problem with severe headaches that disappeared forever after

Kathleen prayed for her. Also he records how a rose bush, that witnesses said had never bloomed before, brought forth a beautiful white bloom on the day of Kathleen’s death. It is appropriate that Kathleen’s mortal remains lie in the beautifully picturesque Kildownet graveyard on Achill Island. The beauty of her spirit that shone forth on earth deserves only the most beautiful place of repose. Kathleen’s legacy is an inspiring faith that encourages many today.

During Kathleen’s brief time on earth she lived a hidden life and like St Therese of Lisieux, on whose feast day Kathleen was baptized, Kathleen’s life is becoming increasingly well known after her death. The book Kathleen Kilbane: The ‘Little Saint’ of Achill Island is another step in that process.
