Religion

A good indicator of the state of religious relations in Mayo is the story of how the congregation of the Church of Ireland (Protestant) threw open their doors in Westport to their Catholic neighbours when St. Mary’s church was being renovated in recent times. In today’s west of Ireland, Catholic & Protestant mix without fear or prejudice. Of course it was not always so and the countless ruins caused by religious persecution bear witness to that fact.
