 | | Sir Frederick Burton, a former Director of the British National Gallery, was a native of Corofin, and some colour reproductions of his more famous works are on display. |
 | | When the parish church at Kilnaboy fell into disrepair and the necessary support was not forthcoming to renovate it, Catherine considered the siting of a new church at Corofin which as a town was growing rapidly and was more central for the parishes of Rath and Kilnaboy, now united, and served by the same vicar. |
 | | A century later St. Catherine's needed alteration and renovation, and by 1829 the steeple and vestry had been added, all done with the aid of a loan of £369 from the Board of First Fruits. |
