		On the occasion of the launch of the history of Aghaboe parish, a National Millennium Committee Project, held on December 19, the community hall in Ballacolla was packed to the rafters.
		From a historic perspective the name Aghaboe focuses the mind on the monastic settlement, which is central to the heritage and culture of not only the parish but the diocese of Ossory and right across Europe also with the Salzburg connection as a living example to this day.
		Of this ancient fabric at Aghaboe, but the chancel now remains, which serves for the parish church; the east and south windows are pointed and seem to have been modernised.

		At the same time the see was transferred from Seir-Kieran to Aghaboe (see CANICE, SAINT), but at the end of the twelfth century it was transferred to Kilkenny, where it has since remained.
		It is probable that St. Canice founded a monastery at Kilkenny, and not unlikely that the beginnings of a town soon appeared there, to become more important when the bishops changed from Aghaboe.
		There are the relics of old churches associated with the lives and acts of the early Irish saints, such as those of Seir-Kieran and Aghaboe.

	History
		The transfer of the Cathedral from Aghaboe to Kilkenny in the last decade of the twelfth century, the foundation of a cathedral chapter and the establishment of a parish system through the system of tithes introduced by the Anglo-Normans radically transformed the ecclesiastical organization of the diocese.
		More than half of the new parishes were in the hands of the religious, while the rest were run by the secular clergy - mostly the dean and chapter of St. Canice's.
		Because of their importance in the diocese the suppression of the monasteries in the wake of the reformation led to enormous changes.
