Kilkeedy is a parish in County Clare and part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe. The parish is the only parish in said diocese whose boundaries are still identical compared with the medieval situation.[1]
As of 2021, the co-parish priests are Damien Nolan and Pat O'Neil.[2]
The main church of the parish is the Church of St. Michaels in Tubber, completed in 1865.[3]
The second church of the parish is the "Church of All Saints" in Boston. This church was also built in 1865 but it replaced an older limestone church with a thatched roof. That church was in its turn a replacement for a masshouse in the townland Kylcreen.[4]
There is evidence of multiple churches in the area, mostly in the names of townlands like Kells (Cealla, meaning cells or churches), Kilcornan (Church of St. Cornan) and Killeenmacoog (Church of McHugh). No traces of the churches are left or records are left of these churches.[5]
Only two early monastic sites have survived: the one in the townland Cross and the one in the townland Kiltackey More.
