The clerk of works was a Michael Gillooly from Co. Roscommon who was in charge of overseeing the completion of the project.
A total of 23 local men worked there at most times for a wage packet of 9s.-12s. per week. The total cost of this Church was between £1200-£1400 and it was completed in 1914. Fr Rhattigan from Miltown was the priest responsible for its initiation with Mr Cyril Allies co-operating in a munificent manner. Inside the church, one can observe windows inscribed to the memories of Richard Mathes (Kinsley) and Edward Moll (Olathe) both in Kansas who were drowned off the Stags on the north-west side of Bofin on February 3rd, 1976.
