About Ballintubber Abbey
Ballintubber Abbey is a Roman Catholic parish church in Ballintubber, Co. Mayo. It is part of the Tuam Archdiocese.
The building
The abbey grounds include a fifteenth-century cloister and the west doorway, known in Irish as Doras Iarthair an Mhainistir. Also on the site are a replica of a fifth-century Patrician wooden church, and Elizabeth's House, modelled on the rural cottages of the past. The old church beside which the abbey was built was a Patrician church.
Dancora, the Bath of the Righteous, and St Patrick's Well are associated with the site. Church Island, or Oileán na Scríne, Shrine Island, lies at the north west of Lough Carra.
Notable features
The Stations of the Cross were created for Ballintubber Abbey in 1972 by the sculptor Imogen Stuart.
Tibóid Ne Long Bourke, son of Grace O'Malley, is buried at Ballintubber. The abbey's account of its history also covers Seán na Sagart, a priest hunter of the penal era, and the restoration of the abbey from Famine times onward.
