History
Before the present structure was completed, mass used to be said in the old school.[2]
The church was built in the 1930s and serves the small rural community of Glenamoy and its surrounding areas in North Mayo.
In 2020, due to the prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, the fabric of the church deteriorated and the church is currently in the process of restoration.[3]
It is registered with The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage for Ireland, no.31301201
