St
Patrick's Church
In 1835 a small St Patrick's Chapel was built in the townland of Corglass,
replacing the earlier "Bog Chapel" which had been built sometime in around the 1770's.
The 1835 church was not the first St Patrick's Chapel in the area. A
church named after St Patrick was built in medieval times on the shore of Lough
Allen in the nearby townland of Curraghs. Substantial ruins of this church
have survived and the adjoining cemetery is still in use.
The present St Patrick's Church was built in 1904 and extensive renovations were
carried out in 1973 while Mgr Edmond Lynch was parish priest and Fr Oliver Kelly
was curate.
