Achonry is a Roman Catholic Diocese, situated in the West of Ireland and has twenty-three parishes.  Eleven of these are in County Sligo, eleven in Co. Mayo and one, the Cathedral Parish, is in Co. Roscommon.

The Patron saint of our Diocese is St. Nathy and our secondary Patroness is St. Attracta.  The Cathedral, dedicated to The Annunciation and St. Nathy is in Ballaghaderreen and was built in the 1850's.

This site's intention is to introduce you to our diocese and its people.  We hope for those living away from home it may be a touchstone, whereby you maintain contact with your people and your roots.  The site will be updated regularly and suggestions and links are welcome.
