Dromin church was built in 1828 on the site of a thatched church under the leadership of Fr James O'Regan. At the turn of the century the church was renovated and again in 1992.
In 1951 a statue was erected to commemorate Fr Stephen O'Dea's 50 years of being a priest. This statue is situated oustside the church.
When the church was renovated in 1982, the local parishioners donated the stations of the cross 
and Fr John Irwin who was parish priest gave a stained glass window. Mary Barry from Raymonstown also gave a stained glass window of the good shepherd, this window is inside the door of the church.
The church has three exit doors, one main door at the end of the Isle and one at either side of the alter for the side Isles. There is a statue of St Joseph to the right of the alter and a statue of Holy Mary to the left of the alter.
A plaque was erected by the people of Dromin in memory of Fr Patrick Ryan who was parish priest from 1849 until his death in 1856.
