St Ailbe's Church, Gothic Revival church in Emly, Ireland

St Ailbe's Church is a Catholic church in Emly, County Tipperary, built in the 1880s to replace an 1809 church. It is dedicated to Ailbe of Emly, who died in 529. A sandstone font at the entrance is believed to be medieval, and the nearby graveyard holds St Ailbe's Cross, reputedly the saint's tombstone.

This church was built between 1880 and 1882, replacing an earlier structure from 1809. The new construction reflects the architectural approach favored by the church during the late 19th century.

The church takes its name from Ailbe of Emly, who died in 529 and is the patron saint of the parish. The graveyard beside it holds St Ailbe's Cross, which local tradition identifies as the saint's tombstone. Mass is still celebrated here for the community.

The church stands on Main Street in Emly and is easy to find when walking through town. It remains open for regular services and is maintained by the local religious community.

The sandstone font at the entrance is believed to be medieval, older than the 1880s church itself. In the nearby graveyard stands St Ailbe's Cross, reputedly the tombstone of Ailbe of Emly, who died in 529.
