context_page_description: Ballylooby is a village in County Tipperary in Ireland.
  It is in the barony of Iffa and Offa West, and is also a parish in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore.
context_section_description: The first church built in the village of Ballylooby ran East- West, on the site of the present structure. Its orientation was at right angles to the current building, constructed in 1813 by Rev. John Burke. The site of the old church was too small for the growing congregation, and so an extra twenty-six perches were bought from Patrick Burke. The land deal did not go smoothly and the latter erected a wall within the church and sought writs for trespass against those who crossed it. The heated disagreement lasted for several years but was eventually settled, and the wall removed in due course.
  St. Kieran's was remodelled (all but rebuilt), in 1927/1928 by the parish priest M. Walsh with the architect Rudolf Maximilian Butler. It was funded by local subscription, and many of the pews and stained glass windows bear the names of local families that sponsored them.
