Sculptures by
Br Joseph McNally
A native of Ballintubber, Br Joseph McNally, left an enduring mark on his homeland through his remarkable artistic contributions. He dedicated his life to both his faith and his passion for the arts. Three of his stunning works are in the local region, with two of them at Ballintubber itself. The Mother and Child and St. Patrick are beautiful sculptures set in the gardens at The Abbey.
Monumental Gifts
The Br Joseph McNally sculptures at Ballintubber Abbery were generously donated by him in celebration of the new millennium. The realisation of this artistic vision was made possible through extensive fundraising efforts by the local community, who joined hands to bring these exceptional works of art to The Abbey.
