Catholic parish

The Catholic Parish of Kilquade includes the areas of Kilquade, Kilpedder, Kilcoole, Newcastle, Delgany and Newtownmountkennedy. The parish has three churches, the parish church at Kilquade and chapels at Newtownmountkenneddy and Kilcoole.

The parish church was restored to mark its bicentenary in 2002 and refurbished in 2004. The original church was burned down during the 1798 Rebellion, but was rebuilt in 1802, and many of its original features such as the old stone floor and the windows above the sanctuary were restored.

St Patrick's Church, Kilquade has a long history. The name Kilquade (Irish: Cill Comhghaid) refers to St. Comghaid who had a hermit’s cell or a church in the area. There was a Catholic community in the area in the 17th century, two chalices still in use, bear the inscription "Anno Domini 1633" and "24th November 1759". Official records from 1701 list Fr. Seneca Fitzwilliam as the incumbent priest recognized by the British government under the Penal Laws.

Tradition in the area relates that the original church was burnt down in the time of Cromwell and rebuilt again, and in 1798 the church was definitely burnt down. In 1802, the present church was built. Part of the funding for the new building was in the form of a "Restoration Grant" of £77 which came from the British government. Consequently, St Patrick’s Church is known as a "Compensation Church" and is the only such church remaining in the Dublin Diocese.[ citation needed ]
