This plain stone building dates from 1835. Some thirty years earlier a smaller church had been built on the site of present church. At that time Sunday Mass attendence was said to be around 600. During the 19th and 20th centuries depopulation reduced the number of parishioners. Today, the church is served by the priest from the village of Leitrim.
