![]() Holy Cross R.C. |
Holy Cross
was consecrated in 1864. It was built by Fr. John O'Sullivan who is buried in front of Our Lady's altar. The Architect was Charles Hansom. It is locally believed that Fr. O'Sullivan topped the spire of the church with a cock to crow over the local landlord's agent, whose office was in the Square and had refused him a site for the church. The most notable internal features of the building are the ornate chancel, the organ and the carved roof ( the wood for which from the Block Forest in Germany ). The Stations of the Cross were presented by Sr. M.F.Cusack ( The Nun of Kenmare ) |

St.Patricks Church ( Protestant ) is the principal church in the Union of Kenmare and Dromod, a parish which extends from Kilgarvan, 11 km east of Kenmare through Sneem, Caherdaniel, Waterville and Valentia to Cahirsiveen and has 4 churches. The congregation includes Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans and others as well as Anglicans. St Patrick’s church was consecrated and dedicated to St Patrick on 31 August 1858 to replace the church at Killowen (built in 1811), the ruins of which can be seen 800 meters from the town to the right of the Kilgarvan road. Everyone is welcomed to share in our worship at St Patrick, Kenmare and the Church of the Transfiguration, Sneem. Our monthly service pattern seeks to offer a varied range of worship styles – with Christ at the centre of each and every one. We hope that every month, there will be at least one form of service which people feel is the most appropriate for their personal approach to expressing their thanksgiving and praise to God – but we also remember that if we would like to be joined by others with varying opinions in our ‘preferred’ worship service, we should be prepared to join them too, in theirs.
