Inside the church in Granagh there are stained glass windows
to the Risen Christ on the right and to St. Bernadette on the left. There
is also a stained glass window to the Crucifixion. Fr Costello and Dan
and Kathleen Monckton gave these windows. The main door of the church
has stained glass images that have been donated by various parishioners.

To the right of the altar there is a statue to St. Joseph and on the
left there is also a statue to Our Lady. Dan and Ann Moran gave both of
these statues. A plaque asks people to pray for Mary Bridget Hederman
whose husband gave the altar rails in 1909.
There is also a large stained glass window behind the altar that depicts
Mary on the left, the Sacred Heart in the centre and St. Joseph and infant
on the right. The Baptismal font to the left of the altar was given by
the people to commemorate the centenary of Archdeacon Lyons in 1993.
Buried in the grounds of the church is:
