Church of our Lady Assumed into Heaven

25 Church of our Lady Assumed into Heaven

The parish of Killard, or Doonbeg as it is better known, traces its origins back to the 6th Century. In 1976 this new church was built and can seat up to 500 people.

Once built, the bell from the old church was transferred to it. The bell bears the inscription “Me Vocante, Deum Laudate” = “At my call, praise God”.
