It has a number of community organisations, including an active Pastoral Council. The parish has four interesting early church sites in the townlands of Knockmullin, Graffy, Carrowneden and Cullin. Knockmullin is the location of the church St. Lasair is said to have blessed and given her name. This is the church from which the parish got its name Cill Lasrach , 'the church of Laisir', later Anglicised as Killasser. It is clear from archaeology, history, traditions and religious practice that Killasser has a long and deep religious heritage. Patrick McNicholas, Bishop of Achonry from May 1818 to February 1852, was a native of the parish. He was the first student from the diocese to enter Maynooth College following its foundation 1795. In 1831, Bishop McNicholas established the see of the diocese in Ballaghaderreen. Fr. John Durkan is the parish priest of Killasser Fr. Stephen O’Mahony - Kiltimagh 086-8226405 Fr.

    Issue 58 January 2020 Fr Paul Dempsey appointed Bishop of Achonry Diocese Pope Francis appointed Father Paul Dempsey, PP of Newbridge Parish in the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin, as Bishop of the Diocese of Achonry on 27 January. Speaking in the Cathedral of the Annunciation and Saint Nathy, following the announcement, Father Dermot Meehan, Administrator of Achonry Diocese said, “Today, Father Paul Dempsey comes into our assembly as Christ’s messenger, having accepted his appointment by Pope Francis as pastor of the people and priests of Achonry. We warmly welcome his appointment and, on behalf of the priests, religious and people of the diocese, I thank him for accepting it. It is a reason for rejoicing for us in Achonry that a priest of Father Paul’s calibre and extensive experience in pastoral ministry in his native diocese of Kildare and Leighlin comes to us as our new bishop. We assure him of our prayers as he prepares for his new role and we ask God to bless him with joy, contentment and peace in his ministry among us.” Speaking to the congregation of almost 800, gathered in the cathedral for the announcement, Father Dempsey said, “I’m sure you can understand how daunting it is to take on the role of bishop in a new diocese. I’m conscious of my own unworthiness and sinfulness as I take on this role. I ask you to be patient with me as I endeavour to get to know the priests, people, deacons and religious of the diocese in the coming weeks and months.” The Episcopal Ordination of the new Bishop of Achonry will take place on 19 April 2020, Divine Mercy Sunday.

In March 2016 The National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland (NBSCCCI) produced ”Safeguarding Children Policy and Standards for the Catholic Church in Ireland” which contains a policy statement and a framework of seven child safeguarding standards and indicators which support its implementation and applies to all church personnel. On behalf of our respective dioceses, as part of the Catholic Church in Ireland, we have committed to safeguarding children by agreeing to follow this policy of the NBSCCCI and will abide by and uphold the seven standards and applicable indicators in our entire ministry and contact with children. The policy and standards of the NBSCCCI provide the framework for practice, through a one-Church approach to child safeguarding, ensuring that the same principles, procedures and practices for safeguarding children and for responding to allegations or suspicions of child abuse operate at every level and in every place throughout the Catholic Church in Ireland.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Catholic Schools Week, 2021
    Catholic Schools Week, 2021 “Catholic Schools, Communities of Faith and Resilience” ​ ​ Message from Bishop Paul Dempsey th It was one year ago, on the 27 of January 2020, that Pope Francis ​ ​ appointed me as Bishop of Achonry. One of the very special aspects of the day was to have so many of the school communities from around the diocese present in the Cathedral on the morning the announcement was made. Principals, teachers, members of staff and, of course, many boys and girls were present as Archbishop Jude, the Papal Nuncio, made the announcement. It was lovely to have the large gathering in the Cathedral, a gathering full of vibrancy and hope! We did not realise it at the time, but it was probably one of the last large gatherings we would attend in the diocese before the full onset of the COVID 19 situation. th Since becoming bishop on the 30 of August, I have been very fortunate, ​ ​ despite the lockdowns, to visit all the parishes in the diocese. Due to the situation, these were limited visits, and I could not visit the local schools, but I received a very warm and hearty welcome from the people in the parishes. I thank you most sincerely for that. As we approach February, I have noticed the stretch in the evenings, the snowdrops are starting to peep through the earth, the rollout of the vaccine is progressing, and thankfully the numbers contracting COVID seems to be decreasing. Even though we may be feeling a bit fed up with lockdown, these are great signs of hope for us all.
