Rededicated Inishbiggle church to be used by Catholics and Protestants.

Inishbiggle Island off the coast of County Mayo has never had a Catholic church, until now.

On the tiny Mayo island of Inishbiggle, a disused one hundred year old Church of Ireland church has been rededicated for use by both Catholics and Protestants.

The island has a population of just forty people. Catholic mass was previously celebrated in the local school. Now both Catholic and Protestant communities use the newly restored Holy Trinity Church.
