The OSi maps circa 1900 label this church as St Mogue's. This appears to be an error as both a sign outside the grounds and the Kilmore Diocese website give the name Saint Patrick's

The church of St. Patrick, Kilnavart, was dedicated on 20th April 1868 by Bishop Nicholas Conaty, assisted by Bishop McCabe of Ardagh. The church was erected to the memory of Fr. Thomas Maguire, a famous preacher and apologist who was curate in Templeport from 1816-1818 and is buried in the adjoining cemetery. The Parish priest at the time was Fr. Patrick Smith.
