About Teach Dara

Teach Dara – The house was originally built in 1884 by Mr. William Lee, as a home for the De La Salle Brothers. The Brothers donated it to St. Brigid’s Parish when they left Kildare in 2004. It was given by the Parish for the development of a Community and Family Centre on a 45-year lease.

Our Mission

To benefit the community of Kildare Town and surrounding areas by the establishment, promotion and operation of a community and family resource centre which will provide facilities, services and programmes that support diverse family and community needs.
