About Ballintubber Abbey
Cathal Crobderg O'Conor, King of Connacht, founded Ballintubber Abbey in 1216 for canons of the Augustinian order. The abbey endured suppression at the Reformation and destruction under Cromwellian forces, yet Mass was said continuously for centuries. It served as a stop on the pilgrimage route to Croagh Patrick and a center of Augustinian life.
