This church was built in 1897 to replace an old thatched chapel, the last of its kind in Ireland. The work was done by local people using stone and sand from the area. It was dedicated by Bishop McCormack on 15 August 1897, and the sermon was preached in Irish by Fr Mark Conroy. The church was reconstructed in 1985 under Fr Leon Ó Mórcháin. The sanctuary was moved to the south, and the old sanctuary became a Lady Chapel. The architects were O’Riain and Yates, and the builder was Seán Cuddy. The work cost £94,000 and was rededicated by Bishop Eamonn Casey on 16 March 1985.
