[4] In 1948, the design of the Derry based partnership of Frank Corr and Liam McCormick won a Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland competition for a church in Ennistymon to seat one thousand parishioners.

The client, Father John Jennings, wished to replace a smaller, earlier nearby church built in the 1830s.

The Church of Our Lady and St. Michael was a breakthrough design in concrete, with large rectangular windows, an angular front, and an asymmetrical belfry hinting at the influence of pre-war modern Swiss churches.

After two years of construction, the church was blessed and celebrated its first mass on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, 8 December 1954.
