Welcome to the Parish of Roslea website. We hope you will enjoy browsing its pages. The Parish of Roslea exists in two jurisdictions, County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and County Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland. It descends in the north from the Slieve Beagh through Roslea village southwards through the village of Smithborough in County Monaghan to the Parish of Currin, Killeevan and Aghabog. Its two churches are St. Tierney’s Church in the Fermanagh village of Roslea and St. Mary’s Church, Magherarney (more accurately in the townland of Templetate), Smithborough. St. Tierney’s Church, named after St. Tierney (Tiarnach or Tighernach) of Clones was erected in 1837 and St. Mary’s Church named after the mother of Jesus was erected in 1859.
