Holy Family Church, Plater’s Hill, Coalisland

The main and largest church in the parish is also the newest.  Holy Family Church was opened in 1980 to replace St. Mary & St Joseph’s, Brackaville Road which was too small to accommodate the growing population.  Holy Family Church was designed by Rooney & McConville architects and built by O’Neill & Brady.  The church is built of red brick made from clay quarried within the area.  It was opened on Sunday 11th May 1980 by Cardinal Tomas O’Fiaich.

About

“A lawyer, to disconcert Jesus, put a question , ‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’  Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the greatest and the first commandment.  The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself.  On these two hang the whole Law and the Prophets also’.

Matthew 22:35-40
