BRIEF HISTORY:
Anchonry Cathedral is the Church of Ireland (Prot) – or Achad-Conair was given to St Finian of Clonard, in the year 530AD by the Chieftain of the territory of the Luigny. The O’Hara’s of Annaghmore are the modern representatives of this old Irish clan. St Finian, the first of that great line of saintly scholars who madeIrelandfamous for its learning, founded a monastery near there. Over it he placed his pupil Nathy, a man of great saintliness, who was commonly called Crumthir. The two names joined together are preserved in the form Crumnathy, and to him the Cathedral is dedicated.
Little is known of the history of the Cathedral – the smallest of the Cathedrals of the Churchof Ireland. It was built in the year 1823 with the help of the Board of First Fruits. To the east of the building are some ruins – said to be of the 15th Century.
It is understood that Nathy was buried within the precincts of the monastery, and over his remains, after some time was raised the Cathedral of Achonry, which was dedicated to the Saint and called, after him, the Church of Cumther Nathy. Though Nathy has always enjoyed a high reputation for sanctity, there is little known of his life, and hardly anything of his earlier years. No formal accounts have come down to us. He lived in the 6th century and evidence has it that he attended the famous school at Conard. St Finian presented the saint with a religious establishment. Nathy founded the Church and Monastery at Achonry for particular reasons because it was pleasantly secluded and moreover to diffuse religion among the inhabitants of that province.
Though Nathy is commonly supposed to have been Bishop – it is doubtful whether the holy man ever passed the Order of Priest but because of past history, his was the name the Cathedral church was dedicated to.
