The main church of the parish is the Church of the Assumption in Bodyke, in the part Kilnoe. This church was completed in 1845. It replaced a chapel built between 1740 and 1760.[1] The second church of the parish is the St. Joseph's Church at Tuamgraney. This church was built in 1892-1893 and replaced a chapel built in 1812. This chapel was built on swampy ground, rendering it unsafe.[2]
As of 2021, the co-parish priests were Joe McMahon and Dariusz Plasek.[3][4]
