We are glad that you have found the website for the Church of Ireland (Anglican) Dioceses of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory. As you browse, we hope you will find it interesting and helpful.

We are one of eleven dioceses of the Church of Ireland. Geographically, we cover a large area of the Southeast from Rosslare to Mountrath and from Gorey to Cahir.

We are fortunate to have a long history of Christian worship in this part of Ireland. We have six beautiful cathedrals and some of our one hundred and fifty parish churches occupy very ancient sites. Week by week, people gather in these places of worship, to pray, receive communion, give thanks to God, and encounter the story of God’s loving presence in Jesus Christ. As people of faith, we wish to share the Christian message of faith, hope and love in how we live our lives and care for God’s people and creation.

However captivating these web pages are, they are no substitute for human contact. Some viewing this site will find faith easy, while others will find it challenging. But wherever you are in your journey, we offer the hand of friendship to you. We are a pilgrim people and encourage you to join us for worship in any of our parishes. In our fast-paced modern life, we all need space to stop, reflect and wonder.
