Description

All Saints Church, Killasser 1868–2018: A Parish and Its People celebrates 150 years of faith, community, and local history in the parish of Killasser, County Mayo. Compiled by the Killasser Church Jubilee Committee and edited by local historian Michael Murphy, this beautifully produced volume commemorates the history of All Saints Church while honouring the generations of parishioners whose dedication has sustained parish life since the church was opened in 1868.

Drawing on parish archives, historical records, and contributions from the local community, the book traces the construction and development of the church, profiles the priests who served the parish, and documents the changing social and religious life of Killasser over a century and a half. Richly illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs—many published for the first time—it also preserves treasured family memories, significant parish events, and the traditions that have defined this close-knit rural community.

More than a history of a church building, this volume is a celebration of the people of Killasser and their enduring faith, resilience, and sense of community. An invaluable resource for local historians, genealogists, former parishioners, and anyone with an interest in County Mayo’s heritage, All Saints Church, Killasser 1868–2018 is both a historical record and a cherished keepsake for future generations.
