Parish Details

The Parish of Cúl Máine or Ederney includes a significantly large portion of Lower Lough Erne. It stretches from the centre of Boa Island and the area around the village of Kesh to the boggy and mountainous areas along the border with Co Tyrone and, from there, across to Tullyhommon, adjacent to the village of Pettigo on the Donegal-Fermanagh border.

The medieval parish was known as Machaire Chul Máine or Magheraculmoney. The ancient parish had links with St Tiarnach and this is reflected in local placenames, such as Kiltierney.

Today, the parish community is a vibrant one, striving to fulfill its mission in this part of Fermanagh. The parish has approximately 450 Catholic families with a population of around, 1,300.
