Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Archiocese of Cashel and Emly consists of two entities: The Diocese of Cashel was established in the tenth century and was promoted to the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cashel in1152.[1] The diocese has been united since 1718. Since this unification occurred after the Reformation, it's not surprising that in the Church of Ireland, the two entities are not united into the same diocese. Cashel is contained within Cashel, Waterford, Lismore, Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin and is referred to as the Diocese of Cashel and Ossory. Emly is found within Limerick, Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert, Kilmacduagh and Emly and is called the Diocese of Limerick and Killaloe.
