Welcome to the Irish confraternities and parish associations website

The site is a compilation of information about these important institutions, which have had a long history in Ireland, stretching back to the medieval period. Confraternities and sodalities were part of the fabric of social, cultural and religious life down to the late twentieth century. It is hoped that the data on this site can be added to regularly in order to provide the fullest possible record of confraternity activities throughout Ireland.
