PLEASE NOTE: THE PARISH OFFICE IN THE PAROCHIAL HOUSE, DRUMKEERIN IS NOW CLOSED - 25/9/26

 

St Brigid’s Church in Creevelea, Tawnylea, County Leitrim, has been at the heart of our community for generations. It is where families have gathered to celebrate weddings and baptisms, mourn loved ones, attend Mass and mark many of life’s most important moments.

 

We are raising funds to carry out much-needed improvements to the church and its surroundings and to support its continued care and upkeep. Our aim is to ensure that it remains a welcoming and dignified place of worship for our community, visitors and their families for generations to come.

 

Creevelea holds a special place in the hearts of many people, including those who have moved away but still feel a strong connection to their home parish. We hope that parishioners, former parishioners, friends and members of the wider community will come together to support this appeal.

 

Every donation, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser with family and friends would also be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you sincerely for supporting St Brigid’s Church, Creevelea.

To keep this church alive for our children, grandchildren, and future generations, we need everyone’s help. Here is how you can get involved:

· Lend a Hand: Join our volunteer team for upcoming clean-up, painting, roof cleaning and landscaping days.

· Be Present: Your presence at Mass and community gatherings is the heartbeat of this church. Simply showing up keeps our faith community strong and alive.

· Support Fundraising: If you are in a position to contribute financially, every donation, large or small will go towards essential restoration costs.

 

Creevelea Church Committee.
