Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption is a Roman Catholic church at NW side of the roundabout where Kylemore and Ballyfermot roads meet in Ballyfermot, Dublin, Ireland. St. Raphael's National School is beside it.

The first church in modern-day Ballyfermot existed in a former Dublin Corporation paint depot on O'Hogan Road which Father Donal O'Scannaill had purchased from Dublin Corporation c.1950 for £200. This building had originally been a storage unit known as 'the painters hut' during the first housing phase of Ballyfermot. It was used from 1950 until Our Lady of the Assumption Church opened in 1953. This shed was also used as a soup kitchen, nicknamed in the locality the ‘Stew House’, where the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul served soup to the needy of the area. 'Our Lady’s of Victories Youth Club' began there also.
