Macroom (/məˈkruːm/; Irish: Maigh Chromtha) is a market town in County Cork, Ireland, in the valley of the River Sullane, halfway between Cork city and Killarney. Its Irish Gaelic may translate as "meeting place of followers of the god Crom" or "crooked oak", the latter a reference to a large oak tree that apparently grew in the town-square during the reign of the English King John. Its population has grown and receded over the centuries as it went trough periods of war, famine, forced emigration and intermittent prosperity. In a 2011 census, the urban area was recorded as 3,879.

I came to this church to get Mass during this lockdown, on Monday, Tuesday and today Wednesday, 29th April.2020. All Masses were a joy to attend, the priest said the words, especially at the Consecration, slowly, prayerfully and the prayers were so personal and kindly. I live in London and we hear so much about the decline of faith in Ireland, these Masses have given me great hope that Ireland has not lost all of the Faith of Our Fathers. God bless the priests and people of this parish.
