The first Roman Catholic Church in Cork was completed in 1861, built on four acres of land originally belonging to John Russell. However, in 1869 the church was blown down in the great Saxby gale. A second Church was soon erected, which was sturdier and more modern than the first. In 1902, a new larger church was built beside the old one that needed repairs. This beautiful church was destroyed on July 9, 1943, when hit by lightning and consequently burned to the ground. A new church was built in 1947.
The church is located at 2448 route 645. Congrats to 2oldbiddies for FTF..!
