St Finian’s Statue This beautiful statue was sculpted in Carrara marble by Italian artist, Carlo Nicoli, and shows St Finian holding aloft the torch by means of which he swept away the waters of Llancarfan Lake (Wales) into the sea and which has become the symbol of his ministry. It was erected in 1957 by the then parish priest of Kinnegad and Clonard.

St. Finian’s Catholic Church<br /> The Church was built in the mid nineteenth century, to replace a former building on this site. The belfry was added in 1870. The doors in the side aisles originally faced northwards but were later closed up and new openings were made one facing eastwards and the other facing westwards. Note the stone holy water fonts in the wall beside the original doors, dated 1807 and donated by local landowner R. Herbert. The vestry was behind the main Altar before the present one was built in the early 1950's. New stained-glass windows in bright clear colours by Hogan were commissioned and show events in the life of St Finian. They<br /> were put in and dedicated in 1957. The life size figures of St Finian and St Etchen were carved in Bolzano, Italy. The Wooden gallery in the long aisle is an addition of the 1940's.

    My great grandparents were from Clonard and immigrated to the USA in the 1800’s. I am trying to locate any Campbell family who may live in Clonard. My greatgrandmother was, Maria Campbell. Her father was Neal Campbell and her mother was Mary McVaty.
