Wondering if anyone knows of a Catholic Parish called Ballygarrett in Wexford County, I would like to visit the area and if there is a cemetery that is associated with that Catholic church (and if it is still around or is merged into a new parish name) would be helpful, I have not been able to find a Catholic parish by that name

 

Thanks in advance!

    Here is a link to the RC parish of Ballygarrett  https://ferns.ie/ballygarrett/   If you click on the name of the pries, you will get an e-mail address.

    Here is a map of the Diocese of Ferns  https://ferns.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Parish-map.png  You can see Ballygarrett is on the coast close to Co. Dublin.

  • Hi Bri,

    There are two graveyards in Ballygarrett parish. The current graveyard is Ballygarrett Cemetery. It is in Ballygarrett village, close to the church. The older graveyard is Donaghmore Cemetery, 3 km NE of the village. It dates back to 450AD and readable gravestones from 1707. You can find pictures and transcribed inscriptions for Donaghmore on Find a Grave.

    Hope this helps!
