St. Mary's RC church in Killenaule is about 2 to 3 miles SW of Lickfinn townland. The contact info would be at: >> http://www.catholicireland.net/parishes/parishdetails.php?ID=850 << One to two miles north of Lickfinn, in the village of New Birmingham, is Saints Patrick and Brigid RC church. The actual townland is Glengoole South, and the RC church webpage identifies the village as Glengoole, from the townland and its Irish name Gleann an Ghuail: >> http://www.catholicireland.net/parishes/parishdetails.php?ID=845 << There were RC churches at these same locations in the mid-1800's. .............................................................................. ...
