Fr. Peter Ahearne

I welcome you to the Parish Website for Powerstown and Lisronagh.

The Parish is situated on the outskirts of Clonmel and is growing and developing rapidly. The Parish is rich in history and can trace its Christian history back to St Patrick through the ruins of Donoughmore.

This website will hopefully give you a history of the Parish as well as keeping you informed of the many activities that are taking place within the Parish on an ongoing basis.

I hope that this website will help people from the Parish who are scattered throughout the world to keep in touch with what is happening in the Parish.Whether you are at home or away I hope you find visiting the website informative and enjoyable.

Powerstown Church
Bicentenary 1810-2010

During the recent celebration to mark the Bicentenary of Powerstown Church,  a commemorative history of the parish was launched entitled “Powerstown Church Bicentenary 1810-2010, A Commemorative History”.

This book is the collaborative endeavour by several parishioners, who covered a variety of topics, ranging from the geographical (town lands, civil parishes, catholic parishes, place names) to the historical (tower houses, holy wells, ecclesiastical antiquities).

Individuals and groups associated with the church are highlighted, as is a short history of the three primary schools of Lisronagh, Powerstown and Rathkeevin. 

Other social activities in the parish are also mentioned, such as sporting organisations, Moyle Rovers, Community Games, Clonmel Rugby Club, Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, I.C.A., to name but a few.

The book sells for €20. Anyone who wants the book sent to them can do so by sending €25 which includes the cost of packaging and postage to the Parochial House, Rathronan, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, Ireland.
