THE CHURCH OF ST. LIVINUS, KILLULAGH

With the completion of the new Church in Delvin in 1881 the priests and people of Delvin turned their thoughts to the replacement of the old church in Killulagh. A site was obtained from Mr Fetherstone of Rockview and Mr Ashlin was engaged as Archtect. The foundation stone was laid on 21st October 1888. It was almost complete in 1891 but because of financial constraints an altar was not provided until 1894. The Church is dedicated to St. Livinus, a local saint whose ministry is believed to date back to the time of St. Patrick.
