The origional parish church was situated evidently where
Kilmeen graveyard is today. The graves of priests are still visible - their
headstones facing in the opposite direction to those of lay people.
We do not know when the church moved from Kilmeen
graveyard to Boherbue village, but it was situated in the vicinity of the
parocial hall. This small thatched church was also used as a school, according
to the Hedge School report in 1862.
Today, the parish church in Boherbue is situated in the
east end of the village. It is a beautiful, well kept, modern type building,
erected in 1969 by local contractor Christy Feehan and blessed and opened by
the then Bishop of Kerry, Dr, Moynihan, on April 29th. 1969. |
