Wicklow and Killiskey
Welcome to Our Parishes' Website
The Wicklow and Killiskey group of parishes serves an extensive area of
central and eastern Wicklow County extending from the coast to the foothills
of the Wicklow mountains,110 sq km in total. There are two churches, at
Church Hill Wicklow and also at Nun’s Cross Ashford. Both parishes have
experienced considerable growth in population during the last few years and
the trend is expected to continue.
Wicklow Parish is centered upon Wicklow Town itself. It is a busy parish with a Primary School (The Glebe National School) and a Protestant Secondary School (East Glendalough School). There is a small community hospital and a newly built nursing home (Blainroe) where Holy Communion is celebrated on a monthly basis.
The parish has many activities for all ages of young people with thriving Sunday School, pre-teen group and youth clubs. There are also Girls Brigade, Guides and Scouts companies with close Church association in the town. The Mother and Toddler Group meet on a weekly basis. In addition the Mothers’ Union has an active membership from a wide age group at its monthly meetings.
Killiskey Parish is in a rural setting based around Nun’s Cross church on the edge of Ashford. The parish also has a Primary School (Nun’s Cross National School) and a thriving Sunday School. There is a very active Social Committee, organizing regular social events throughout the year.
