Stop No. 1 on the Dromahair Town Trail is St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, built in 1889.
The church is built on a rise overlooking the River Bonet. The site was donated by the local landlords, the Lane-Fox family, who also opened the building fund with a subscription of £50. The church was formally dedicated on 9th March 1890, the foundation stone having been laid on St. Patrick's Day 1889. The first mass was celebrated on Christmas Day 1889. The celebrant was Fr. Cormac McSharry, who in 1888 wrote to the Sligo Champion "for more than fifteen years mass has been celebrated in various houses - most of the faithful have to kneel outside. For some time we have the use of a small school-house in which is a little moveable altar". With this letter Fr. McSharry initiated and began fundraising for the building project. He is buried in the church yard adjacent to the front door. St. Patrick's church was re-dedicated with a centenary mass on 9th March 1990.
