Youth Alive

Open Air YOUTH SERVICE

Saturday 9th July at 8pm

Open Air Youth Service in the grounds of the ancient Church of Aghowle, Coolkenno, Tullow, Co. Carlow.

Preacher: The Reverend Arthur Ashe

If unfavourable weather we move to nearby St Michael's Church, Aghold.

Aghowle is an ancient monastic site. St Finian founded his first Monastic Community in the first quarter of the 6th Century at Aghowle. He then moved to Clonard, Co. Meath where he founded his best known monastery. The monastic community remained in Aghowle for many years.
The Church ruin on the site was built in the early 12th century.

To the north of the Church there is a plain granite cross. The Church was used until 1716 when the present St Michael's Church, Aghold was built.
