St Mary & St. John Church
The parish church of St. Mary and St. John was dedicated on October 28,
1866, it was to serve a small village community and an extensive rural area, few could
have envisaged the movements of population that were to take place in the succeeding one
hundred and thirty years. The setting up of
new parishes like Ballinora and Curraheen drastically reduced the area of Ballincollig
parish while the development of Cork city's largest dormitory suburb transformed a small
village into one of Ireland's fastest growing towns.
