Hiking

The Franciscan community in Killarney was founded in 1860 when Franciscan monks moved from Gorey, County Wexford, where they had been living for two years. The Franciscan Church was completed in 1867 and consecrated in 1868, and the monastery opened in 1879 to a design by J. J. McCarthy. The church was consecrated by Bishop David Moriarty (who laid the foundation stone in 1864) and is dedicated to the Blessed Trinity, the title of the old Muckross Abbey.
The church features a stained glass window from the Harry Clarke Studios, installed in 1930 and designed by Richard King.
