Geocache Description:

St. Colmcille's Church
The Roman Catholic Parish of Knocklyon was established in 1974 and placed under the patronage of St. Colmcille and is run for the Dublin Archdiocese by the Carmelite order of priests. The church, primary school (consisting of both a junior and senior school to deal with large numbers, and one of the largest in Ireland) and community school all bear the name St. Colmcille. The dedications of the school & church come from St Colmcille's Holy Well located on the Old Court Road.

In 1979 Pope John Paul II came to Ireland and on the occasion of his visit to Maynooth, His Holiness blessed the Foundation Stone of the new Church. In April 1980 the beautiful Church of St. Colmcille was opened.
