Parish Centre
A welcoming and versatile space at the heart of the community
The Parish Centre, a former convent now lovingly maintained by the parish, is a welcoming and versatile space at the heart of our community. Rich in history and character, the building offers a peaceful yet practical setting for a wide range of activities.
Combining traditional architectural charm with functional, adaptable spaces, the centre is suitable for both religious and secular use. As a recognised Community Centre, supported by Offaly County Council, we warmly welcome groups and organisations who wish to use our facilities for the benefit of the wider community.
