Our magnificent church, St. Michael’s, was repainted over the past few weeks, a total change of colour and it turned out fabulous. The marble effect paint work on the pillars by Sinead Finnegan really adding a beautiful aspect to the overall job. The church was built in the 1860s and extended and renovated many times since and we are very lucky to have a beautiful church like this. https://corduffraferagh.ie/st-michaels-repainted-sept-2025/
