The Ballyhaunis Abbey Trust CLG

The Ballyhaunis Abbey Trust Company Limited by Guarantee operates St Mary’s Abbey, a fifteenth-century Augustinian friary in Ballyhaunis, County Mayo. The trust manages the historic site, which has been a centre for religious worship since circa 1400, with mass said daily. It preserves the friary’s heritage, including the church, priest’s house, graveyard and antiquities, and promotes interest in local history. The trust offers guided tours of the friary on Wednesday mornings and by appointment. It also organises events, such as concerts, and maintains a preservation fund, encouraging donations from friends and patrons to sustain the site’s culture and heritage for future generations.
