Killarney Franciscan Friary, the Franciscan community was established in 1860 in Killarney, Co. Kerry, when Franciscan Friars transferred from Gorey, Co. Wexford, where they had been for two years. The Franciscan church was completed in 1867 and consecrated in 1868 and friary opened 1879, designed by J.J. McCarthy. The Church was consecrated by Bishop David Moriarty, and is dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, the title of the old Muckross Abbey.

After completing their year as a Novice, students would proceed to St. Anthony's College, Galway, to take an Undergraduate degree in University College Galway, often going on to complete their clerical training by studying theology in Irish Franciscan College, Louvain, or in St. Isidore's, the Irish Franciscan College in Rome.
