  1. The Kells Convent Schools

    Share Share Post
    These schools were founded by Rev. Fr. Mac Evoy P.P. Kells. It was Miss Catherine Dempsey who belonged to an old Irish catholic family that gave the buildings for a Convent, and for schools.
    Miss Dempsey lived in Headfort Place in a house where the National Bank stands now.
    As well as the property she left a fund for the clothing of the poor of Kells. Ever since her day it is the Parish Priest of Kells who administers this fund. A large number of pupils (both boys and girls) of the Parish are provided with boots and clothes out of this fund every Winter.
