Church of Mary Immaculate

The church was built between 1842 and 1845 by Fr. Malachi Brennan. The presbytery (Priest’s house) was built in 1875 by Fr. John Healy. The bell which was made at the William Byrne Foundry, Dublin was erected in 1893, on the request of Rev. William Crofton. Between 1956 and 1958 a new roof was constructed, the floors, seating and windows were replaced under the guidance Fr. Colm Feeney.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The refurbishment of the Church
