Rearcross or Rear Cross (Irish: Crois na Rae) is a village in the townland of Reardnogy in County Tipperary, Ireland.
[1] The village is in the Roman Catholic parish of Kilcommon and Hollyford and Rearcross, in the Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, and also in the historical barony of Owney and Arra.
At the time, diocesan funds were heavily committed to finishing the cathedral in Thurles and with resources stretched the bishop dispatched the local priests on fund-raising drives to America.
In 1887 he arranged to buy the church for £440, had it dismantled, imported to Limerick and transported by the local farmers of Rearcross to its present location.
The church is unique, having corrugated tin walls (the iron having been used during the Second World War) and roof, three galleries, a stained glass rose window in each gable and representations of two saints not usually the objects of Irish devotion - St. Thomas Aquinas and St. William.
