Middle Killeavy is a very young parish. In fact we only came into being in September 1996. Yet our history goes back much further. Our mother parish is Upper Killeavy and that is where our history began.

Very Reverend J.P. Canon Toner, P.P. Upper Killeavy (commonly called Cloghogue Parish) had the vision and foresight to build a new Church for his parishioners who lived in the lower end of his extensive parish. It took courage and foresight to undertake this building at that time due to the post war year restrictions.
