Ballyfarnon is a busy market and shopping centre with all the facilities one would expect in a small town. The sectional map of the Ballyfarnon part of the parish is shown above.

Ballyfarnon Church was built in the eighteen eighties. The Ballyfarnon community are as supportive and loyal to their own church. The church does not have the grandeur of Keadue or the space of Arigna, but it is a most prayerful church. Here you really feel close to The Good Lord. Ballyfarnon Church was dedicated by Bishop Woodlock in March 1889 and was named “St Patrick’s Church”.

Ballyfarnon Primary School and Kilronan Playschool occupy a magnificent site on the edge of the town.
