Our Churches

St. Patrick's

Directions

The church of Patrick may have existed from the 5th century in this part of the Six Mile Water valley. It is thought that the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, or Knights Templar, took over an existing church in the 12th century and nearby built their Priory. more...

St. John's

Directions

It is not known when the first church was built at Donegore but the present building is one of the oldest in the Diocese of Connor. The earliest record of a church on this site occurs in the taxation role of Pope Nicholas IV in 1306. more...
