About St. Joseph’s Church, Kilmore
St. Joseph’s Church, Kilmore is a Roman Catholic parish church in Broadford, Co. Clare. It is part of the Killaloe Diocese.
History
St Joseph's Church stands on the Broadford to Limerick road in the townland of Kilmore. It was built in 1822 at a cost of £150. Local tradition holds that it was originally a thatched schoolhouse converted for sacred use with the installation of a slated roof, though other evidence suggests that it was always a chapel which was also used as a school. In 1835 it was described as "a chapel of convenience in the mountain". The roof of the building was slated in 1850 and renovations were carried out in 1994.
The diocese describes it as the smallest church building in the diocese of Killaloe.
