The church in Patrickswell is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Bishop
Jeremiah Newman and Fr William Creed P.P officially opened the church
on June 9th 1977. The architects were John Thompson & Partners and
Patrick Healy was the builder. The McSweeney family gave the site for
the church and the Presbytery. The McSweeneys also gave the altar and
ambo as a gift. The church was re-roofed in 1994.
