In this booklet, Fr Sean Tucker traces the history of Millstreet Parish across nearly a thousand years. It is the first such record of the Parish. It is based on detailed analyses of church records using many primary sources and is the result of a long-term interest in the area by Fr. Tucker – truly a labour of love.

Each phase of the Parish’s history is also put in the context of its time both nationally a n d internationally and Fr. Tucker shows a great appreciation of all the forces that shaped our history and helped make us what we are.
