Church of the Transfiguration, Sneem
We warmly welcome all who come to the Church of The Transfiguration. Please join our worship in this place of goodwill and friendship. About UsStay in TouchAbout the Church of the Transfiguration
The Church of the Transfiguration in Sneem was built in 1810 at a cost of £553. We know little of the architect or his approach – although since it is totally different in plan and aspect to traditional church buildings, perhaps the ‘boat’ shape is intended to refer to Noah’s Arc, the fishing boat of the disciples, or the fact that Sneem is a small port. There is, of course, also the possibility that he had never designed a church before, and didn’t know about traditional church architecture. The salmon weathervane is a local landmark.

Project 2070
Since 1858, St Patrick’s Church Kenmare has been a place of worship, ministry and welcome to all, whoever they may be, from wherever they come. This has become increasingly important over the last few years, as the town has become a major international tourist attraction, situated not only on the Wild Atlantic Way, but also forming the ‘jewel’ in the ring of Kerry and a gateway to the ring of Beara.
The regular congregation itself is equally multinational, with current membership including no less than eight different birth nations – and in the tourist season, we share worship and fellowship with visitors from countries all over the world.
We now wish to further develop the use of our beautiful historic building as an asset for the wider community, to host concerts and presentations; and we have received planning permission to extend the church in order to provide suitably accessible toilet and entrance facilities.

So on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, it is right to keep silence for the fallen, in every sphere of life, but unless we resolve to remember them as we remember Jesus – every day of the year – it means little.

We don’t stop doing right because of the fear of becoming proud – and we don’t let past failure stop us from living in His house.
