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!

Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!
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.
