Athracht

Athracht (Modern Irish Naomh Athracht;[1] in Latin sources Attracta) is the patron saint of the parish of Locha Techet (Lough Gara) and Tourlestrane, County Sligo, Ireland.

A native of County Sligo, Athracht resolved to devote herself to God, but being opposed by her parents, fled to south Connacht and made her first foundation at Drum, County Roscommon, where her brother Conal had established a church.

She then moved to Lough Gara, where she founded a hostel for travellers at a place now called Killaraght in her honour.

A local well is named after her, as is the new secondary school in Tubbercurry and the parish's second church in Kilmactigue.
