St Patrick's Cathedral

St Patrick's Cathedral Diocese of Tuam, killala and achonry Muredach, as bishop.” (Samuel Lewis, writing in his 1837 Topographical Dictionary).

The Cathedral Church of St Patrick, Killala, is one of Ireland’s smallest cathedrals but also one of its oldest. “The Episcopal SEE of KILLALA appears to have been founded between the years 434 and 441, by St. Patrick, who, during that period, was propagating the faith of Christianity in the province of Connaught; and built a church at this place, called Kill-Aladh, over which he placed one of his

disciples, St. According to one significant strand in the Patrician tradition, Foclut (Foghill) near Killala was the site of Patrick’s first landing in Ireland and the hills above the town the place where he worked as a shepherd boy and developed his great love of this country, its people, and its language, which eventually led to his returning as a missionary.with other Christians in Killala and North Mayo. In the centuries following Patrick’s return to north Mayo to found his cathedral at Killala, a monastic settlement grew up which by mediaeval times had become a town. That this cathedral lies at the hub of an ancient ecclesiastical centre is only just now beginning to be recognised. Killala is a medieval town and one of the oldest in the west of Ireland.
