3.1


Niamh is about to have her baby and finds that Ambrose is no help at all - he is too busy fainting at the ante natal classes. The situation worsens when his mother turns up with the intention of helping Niamh with the birth. Liam and Donal buy a chipper van from Padraig and set it up outside the church, much to Peter's dismay. His mood does not improve when a supposed miracle is spotted at the church. The Child of Prague statue is *sweating*, resulting in the entire population of Ireland descending on BallyK. Although Fr Mac is willing to make the most of it, Peter is more concerned by the fact that everyone in the village stands to gain from the influx of tourists and even finds himself suspecting Assumpta - the bar has been heaving. He tells Assumpta that he doesn't believe in these kind of miracles and she responds with a statement that deeply upsets him. She reminds him that he claims to perform greater miracles on the altar on a daily basis. Peter walks out on her and she realises that she has gone too far and undermined his vocation. When she tries to apologise, she is disturbed to find that he is agreeing with her. He doesn't know what he believes in any more, but it seems that the young priest is having serious problems with his faith.
