St Patrick is Patron of Termonamongan Parish and of the Parish Church. According to tradition he stopped at a well in Magherakeel on his way from Lough Derg to quench his thirst. He blessed the well, now known as Tobar Phádraig (St Patrick's Well). The original church site in the Parish was at Magherakeel near St Patrick's Well, and dates from the 6th Century. It is called Kylehyrryll in Archbishop Colton's Visitation of the Derry Diocese in 1399. This translates into Irish as "Cill Chairill" and into English as "St Caireall's Chruch" St Caireall was, therefore, either the founder or the patron of the church. A small section of the wall remains of what was St Caireall's Church which was probably built by the Franciscans.
