  Callan County Kilkenny, Ireland Lewis, 1837 description ©Jane Lyons
Butler Stephenson, the rector; it formerly belonged to Lord Callan, and prior to that was the property of the Earl of Desart.
The living is a rectory and vicarage in the diocese of Ossory, united by act of council in 1763 to the rectories and vicarages of Tullaroan, Tullamain, Coolaghmore, Killaloe, and Ballycallan, together forming the union of Callan, in the alternate patronage of the Crown and the Marquess of Ormonde.
The chapel at Callan is a spacious edifice, not quite finished, in the southern part of the town ; the interior is very neat, and the ceiling is chastely and handsomely carved.

 Abbey
The Augustinians were invited to Callan at the request of the Butlers of Ormonde.
In 1472, shortly after it was founded, the Community in Callan, requested the Prior General in Rome, to constitute their house, a house of Observants, that is a Community of strict observance.
It seems that during this time of upheaval some friars continued to reside secretly in the Friary in Callan, because in 1724, when the Augustinians held their provincial chapter Callan is mentioned as one of the houses to which a prior was appointed.

 County Kilkenny, Ireland, History
From the end of the high medieval period (c.1350) to the time of just prior to the Cromwell confiscations (c.1650), County Kilkenny (and Tipperary) came to be dominated by the Butler families, headed by the earl of Ormond who at different times had ruled from Nenagh, Carrick-on-Suir and, most particularly, from Kilkenny city.
With the accession of James I, the monastery was rededicated, but the abbey had fallen into such a state of disrepair that it could not be used in 1612.
Nevertheless, when the Franciscans returned to their old friary, the original high altar was still standing, and the friars continued to improve their abbey throughout the seventeenth century.
