It s a truly spiritual place with a history to match its beauty and grace. The area around Dromin church is majestic, backing onto an ancient mound or moat and views of the entire country to enjoy.
A quick chat with Fr Michael Murtagh filled me in a lot more on the place and a church, built in 1826 in just six weeks and allegedly between two showers of rain!
The present altar was put in in 1876 and it was rededicated in 1877 with celebrant, a Dromin man, Fr Thomas Taaffe.
It was designed by architect John Murray who was born in 1807, believed to be at Lawlesstown, Dunleer. It was called St Joseph s then, but reverted to St Finian.
