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.
