Those somewhat familiar with Bangor have undoubtedly noted the conspicuous absence of a church. The old Bangor church burned down in a great fire and has yet to be replaced. Comgan was appointed to be the priest of Bangor, but his youth have made residents hesitant to follow a spiritual leader who many feel has not lived long enough to gain extensive spiritual wisdom. Comgan's burden is to build a church in Bangor. Not known as a spiritual community, Comgan faces an uphill battle. Everybody seems to be secretly watching if Comgan can complete his goal...even the far-off Vatican in Emain Macha.
