Roscommon is a vibrant and diverse market town; it is home to many tourist, sporting, cultural, commercial and administrative amenities.
The name Roscommon comes from the Irish ‘RosComáin’ meaning ‘Saint Coman’s wood’, the name of the Saint who first built a monastery in the area. Our faith community continues to flourish and the spire of our beautiful Church can be seen from all approach roads to the town.
KILTEEVAN
St Joseph’s Church is set in the beautiful village of Kilteevan, 5km from Roscommon Town.
It is a vibrant community, rich in history and heritage which enjoys all the benefits of rural living but with all the amenities of Roscommon Town close by.
