Cooraclare, also known as Kilmacduane, is a parish in County Clare, Ireland, and part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Killaloe.[1] As of 2021, the co-parish priest was Anthony Casey.[2]
The main church of the parish is the St. Senan's Church in Cooraclare, completed in 1836. This is a cruciform church. It was built in the time that the parish was still united with Kilmihil. Stones from the mediaeval church in Kilmacduane were used for this building.[3]
The second church of the parish is the St. Mary's Church at Cree. This church was built in 1828 and predates the main church by several years.[4]
