Standing room only at this beautiful, historic church when we attended Mass on Saturday evening. Great to see entire families attending together. Wonderful sermon. Attended in Nov. 2018

St Mel's Cathedral

Reviewed By 547sheelaghm

You don't have to be a practising catholic to appreciate this gem. The rebuilding of this cathedral has provided a showcase for so many fabulous artists and artisans so if you are near come and enjoy the beautiful stucco celing, stain glass windows, tabernacle, pipe organ to mention but a few. It really is proof that our modern day artists/artisans are every bit as gifted as those of the past when they get an opportunity and the funding to display their talents. Don't miss it.

St. Manchan's Monastery and Well

St Manchan of Lemanaghan was an early Irish saint who died of yellow fever in 664AD. He established a monastery here in 644AD, in which was kept the reliquary of St. Manchan which was made in 1130AD at Clonmacnoise. (now removed Boher parish church). Today you can see a church built on the site which was built later- possibly in the 14th cent. There are early houses a well and sacred tree here.
