This large-scale Gothic Revival church formerly stood in Cavan town, as the Cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of Kilmore, and was translocted to this site in 1942 when the new cathedral by Ralph Byrne of W. H. Byrne and Son was completed. The former cathedral is of historical and architectural importance, expressing the ambitions of the emerging Catholic middle class in the period leading up to the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, and demonstrating the favoured style for a Catholic cathedral in this period. The church displays intricate architectural detailing and expert craftsmanship and is an important addition to the architectural landscape of Ballyhaise.
