About
This former church keeps the site’s religious history alive. In 1878, Ballinafad hotel owner David Hill donated the land for this church to a Presbyterian congregation. With the establishment of the United Church in 1925 and the merger of several Protestant denominations, this building continued to serve the united congregations. Today, it is an Islamic centre.
