Gun store now under church ownership

Historic Powder Mills building, the former ‘Gun store’, is now under local Church ownership as a new parish centre and community space. Over the summer 2017, Carrigrohane Union of Parishes, the local Church of Ireland Parish, purchased the former ‘Gun store’ on Old Fort Road, Ballincollig, to serve as a new Parish & Community Centre in the heart of the town. a The vision aims to bring this historic building back into use for church services and activities ranging from children and youth groups to courses, evening events and seniors’ gatherings – all of which are open to everyone to attend. Additionally, we hope to create a hub that will enrich our broader Ballincollig community. It is anticipated that the redevelopment of the building will take approximately twelve months.
