Welcome

We are four Church of Ireland congregations in the Diocese of Limerick and Killaloe, located just south of the City of Limerick. This is an area of cattle farming, horse stud farms, and small towns and villages, and our membership reflects the area. The congregations celebrate both their rich history and their current vitality. Each of the four congregations has a worship service on Sunday, whether Holy Communion or Morning Prayer. Kilpeacon and Kilmallock have active Sunday schools.

Our oldest building is a 700-year-old former Augustinian Abbey in Adare, and the newest is 75 years old, made entirely of brick, in the town of Kilmallock. 

Check out the individual church pages for more information. And keep checking back, as more information is added to the site. 

The church in Adare is also the home to St. Nicholas National School, a coeducational primary school.
