The first church to be built in what was once known as Upper Laragh was in the townland of Cormeen. It was built in 1796 when Rev. Edward McCormack was parish priest, lasting less than a generation. In the Jubilee Year 2000 a new shrine was erected on the site where the church once stood. The date stone of this church was incorporated into the present church at Clifferna. It is to be found near the side door of St. Michael's church and reads "Built by the Rev. Edward McCormack AD 1796". The present church dedicated to St. Michael was built in 1821 and has served the people of Clifferna area for 180 years. In 1973 renovations were carried out when Noel McIntyre was curate there, including a redesigned sanctuary by the liturgical artist Ray Carroll. The cemetery adjoins the church.
