Saint Patrick's of Aghyaran Cemetery



St. Patrick's (1846) (re-dedicated 1997)



Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, in Aghyaran, was dedicated by the Bishop John McLaughlin (Diocese of Derry), in 1846. The parish cemetery is located adjacent to the church, in Aghyaran.



An extension of the parish was needed in Castlederg. A new Saint Patrick's was first built and dedicated on Sunday, October 8, 1876, by Bishop Francis Kelly (Diocese of Derry).



By the 1970's, it was felt that the new Saint Patrick's in Castlederg was too costly to repair and maintain, so a new parish church was built and dedicated to Saint Eugene, in May of 1978. It remained in use as a church until it too became in need of serious repairs, so it was decided to refurbish the old Saint Patrick's Church. On May 11, 1997, the church was rededicated, by Bishop Seamus Hegarty (Diocese of Derry).
