The church in Mountcollins is dedicated to Our Lady of the
Assumption. It was built in 1859 and the building was extended during
1954/5. The church in Mountcollins is close to the Kerry border and indeed
some of the churchgoers here are from Co. Kerry. The church bell was installed
in 1992 in memory of Mrs Johanna Bell, who was a benefactress of the parish.
In the porch of the church there is a water font that was erected by Mountcollins
D. S. in 1945.
