Kiltyclogher in north Leitrim is the largest and most impressive of the four churches and yet has the smallest congregation. The church is prominently situated on a fork in the road close to the village centre, and is a significant landmark at the northern end of the village. There are a number of distinctive features worthy of consideration and documentation.
It is built of fine-cut stone and has a fine rose window in the west gable. The interior gives a great sense of space and it has the benefit of a pipe organ. Services in all the churches are according to the Book of Common Prayer with the Holy Communion always the central act of worship. Services are well attended and there is a good sense of community as a whole. A choir of 15 drawn from the four parishes under a musical director leads the singing at all special and united services. An effort is made to welcome and include visitors, whatever their tradition or background.
