Archdiocese and Diocese

From a Stone Sarcophagus on Saint Patrick's Rock, Cashel The Archdiocese of Cashel and the Diocese of Emly are commonly referred to as the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. Saint Ailbe is the Patron of the Archdiocese whose feastday is celebrated on 12 September.The following lists are of the parishes which comprised the Archdiocese of Cashel and Diocese of Emly.

Parliament ordered the union of Cashel and Emly in 1568, but Catholics did not recognise this. The union of the Archdiocese of Cashel and the Diocese of Emly was formally effected in 1718, sixty-seven years after the last Bishop of Emly, Blessed Terence Albert O'Brien (1647-51), died for the faith on a Limerick scaffold when Cromwellian forces under Henry Ireton captured the city in late October 1651. Since that date, and, indeed, for long centuries before, both dioceses shared a similar historical experience.
