Dedicated to St Nathy,[3] it was formerly in the Diocese of Achonry,[4] and then the joint cathedral of Killala and Achonry.[5] It was built in 1823, at a cost of £1066 with a grant from the Board of First Fruits,[6] on the site of an earlier monastic settlement.[7] It was one of three cathedrals in the Diocese of Tuam, Killala and Achonry until it was deconsecrated in 1998.[7]
