Parish of Lawrencetown & Kiltormer

The parish of Lawrencetown and Kiltormer has two Holy Wells, Tobar Mhuire in Ballymore in Lawrencetown and Saint Patrick’s Well near the new cemetery in Kiltormer. When the churches were being built, they were dedicated to these two saints, so Lawrencetown church (pictured right) is Saint Mary’s and Kiltormer church (below right) is Saint Patrick’s. This parish consists of the people from the two villages of Lawrencetown and Kiltormer and the surrounding area. Lawrencetown has a very active Community Enterprise Company and they have their own prize-winning website where you will find the Parish Newsletters for the past twelve months. Kiltormer gives its name to the local GAA club (which also includes the neighbouring parish of Clontuskert) and the Kiltormer hurling team has produced many top-class players and won many trophies down the years.
