About Us

Welcome to our Union of Parishes.  We hope that you will peace in this church, and the time to sit for a while in silence to give thanks to God for His beautiful creation, to pray for those you love (and those you don’t!); most of all, to know the hope that comes in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Whoever you are, wherever you come from, you are welcome here.

Our Mission

The vision of the Kenmare Dromod Union of parishes is

God’s Kingdom, Come!

and working towards this we seek:

To love God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind and with all our strength, and to express that love in our worship, praise and thanksgiving

 To love (our neighbours) unconditionally

To help and encourage people to accept the Lord Jesus Christ into their lives to live their lives in and through Him.

To proclaim the Gospel according to scripture.

To encourage personal Christian growth

To serve the local community – not just those who live or work here, but everyone who passes through this place.
