Delivery by county
Religious statues, delivered to every county
Hand-painted resin statues go by post anywhere in the Republic of Ireland for one flat charge per order. Hand-carved marble is too heavy for the post, so we deliver it ourselves to any county, at the charge shown on each statue’s page.
Collection is free in Termonbarry, Co. Roscommon, arranged by WhatsApp once the order is paid. Choose your county for what delivery looks like there.
Connacht
Galway
Galway Cathedral, dedicated in 1965, is one of the last great stone cathedrals built in Ireland, and a statue of St Thérèse from St Ignatius Statues is pictured in it. Beyond the city lie Tuam, Clonfert and the Connemara pass where St Patrick is said to have blessed the west.
Leitrim
Leitrim is close to home for us: our free collection point in Termonbarry, Co. Roscommon, is within easy reach of much of the south of the county. Its own holy ground is at Fenagh, where St Caillín’s monastery stood.
Mayo
Mayo is Ireland’s pilgrim county: Knock, where Our Lady appeared on 21 August 1879; Croagh Patrick, climbed on Reek Sunday; and Ballintubber, the abbey where Mass has been offered for more than eight hundred years.
Roscommon
Roscommon is where we are. Any statue, resin or marble, can be collected free in Termonbarry, on the Shannon — and Roscommon has its own holy ground at Ogulla, where St Patrick is said to have baptised the daughters of the High King.
Sligo
By Lough Gill, Tobernalt holy well and its Penal-times Mass rock draw crowds every Garland Sunday. Sligo town is also the cathedral town of the Diocese of Elphin.
Leinster
Carlow
Carlow is a small county with a long Catholic memory: the cathedral of a diocese that reaches into seven counties, and at St Mullins a pattern day at St Moling’s well, beside the monastery he founded in the seventh century.
Dublin
Dublin has a fifteenth-century Madonna that survived the Reformation by being hidden, the relics of St Valentine, and the grave of Matt Talbot — and most of its homes now have less shelf space than their grandparents had.
Kildare
Kildare is Brigid’s town — Cill Dara, the church of the oak — where she founded her monastery and where her flame is again kept alight. It is also home to Ireland’s national seminary at Maynooth.
Kilkenny
Kilkenny takes its name from St Canice — Cill Chainnigh, Canice’s church — and is the seat of the Diocese of Ossory, one of the oldest in Ireland.
Laois
Laois is a county of early monasteries — Clonenagh, Aghaboe, Timahoe — and of one famous tree into which people hammered coins as they asked St Fintan for help.
Louth
Little Louth holds two national shrines: the head of St Oliver Plunkett in St Peter’s, Drogheda, and Faughart, honoured by tradition as the birthplace of St Brigid.
Meath
Meath is where, by tradition, St Patrick lit the Easter fire on the Hill of Slane in defiance of the High King at Tara, and where St Oliver Plunkett was born, at Loughcrew.
Offaly
On the Shannon at Clonmacnoise, St Ciarán founded the monastery that became one of the great schools of early Christian Europe. Offaly also has Durrow, Colmcille’s foundation, and Seir Kieran, by tradition older still.
Westmeath
Mullingar has the cathedral of the Diocese of Meath, dedicated to Christ the King at the request of Pope Pius XI. At Multyfarnham the Franciscans built a Way of the Cross with life-size figures, and Fore is famous for St Féichín’s seven wonders.
Wexford
Every year from the Assumption on 15 August to Our Lady’s birthday on 8 September, pilgrims come to Our Lady’s Island in the south of the county. Wexford also has Pugin’s great cathedral at Enniscorthy.
Wicklow
St Kevin came to Glendalough to be alone with God and founded one of the great monasteries of Ireland. Pilgrims still walk St Kevin’s Way over the mountains from Hollywood.
Munster
Clare
Clare is a county of holy wells and island monasteries, with the cathedral of the Diocese of Killaloe in Ennis and St Brigid’s Well at Liscannor still visited on her feast and on Garland Sunday.
Cork
Ireland’s largest county has two cathedrals, St Finbarr’s island at Gougane Barra, and roadside grottos to Our Lady in parish after parish — one of them, at Ballinspittle, known far beyond Cork since the summer of 1985.
Kerry
Kerry is St Brendan’s county: the Saints’ Road runs across the Dingle peninsula to the mountain named after him, and Killarney has one of Pugin’s finest cathedrals.
Limerick
Every June tens of thousands come to Mount St Alphonsus for the Redemptorists’ Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Limerick is also the county of St Ita of Killeedy, the ‘foster-mother of the saints of Ireland’.
Tipperary
Tipperary holds the Rock of Cashel, the archbishop’s cathedral at Thurles, and Holy Cross Abbey, founded to keep a relic of the True Cross.
Waterford
Waterford has the oldest post-Reformation Catholic cathedral in Ireland and, at Ardmore, the well of St Declan, whose pattern is still kept in July.
Ulster (Republic of Ireland)
Cavan
Cavan is the heart of the Diocese of Kilmore and the birthplace of St Kilian, the Mullagh-born missionary still honoured as a patron of Würzburg. It is also a county of lakes and wet winters, which matters when a statue is going outside.
Donegal
Donegal is Colmcille’s county — born, by tradition, at Gartan — and it holds Lough Derg, the island where pilgrims still fast and keep vigil barefoot as they have for centuries.
Monaghan
Monaghan town is the seat of the Diocese of Clogher, which also takes in Lough Derg — so the county’s Catholic life looks both to its own Gothic cathedral and to the island across in Donegal.
Postage, collection, returns and what happens if a statue arrives damaged are all set out in one place.
