St.Comgalls
Until the original
St.Comgalls was built, in the early 1840's, Mass was often said in the house of
a parishioner. The community continued to grow and in the mid 1930's the
Sisters of Mercy opened a school and convent in Donaghadee. Around the same
time, a large house was purchased which provided accommodation for the first
resident priest and a site for the new St.Annes primary school, built in
1963; In the grounds of the
original St.Comgalls church is a holy well dating back to Celtic times.
