Catholic

The parish of Donacavey is part of the Clogher Diocese in the Catholic Church in Ireland. The Catholic parish boundaries are the same as that of the civil parish. The parish church is called St. Lawrence's which is located off the Lisdergan Road in the Ecclesville Demense townland.

Church of Ireland

The parish of Donacavey is part of the Clogher Diocese in the Church of Ireland. Unlike its Catholic counterpart, the Church of Ireland parish of Donacavey only covers a part of the civil parish of Donacavey; the south western portion of the civil parish is a separate Church of Ireland parish called Barr. However both Church of Ireland parishes together make up the same boundaries as the civil parish of Donacavey and today are administrated by one rector as the parish of "Donacavey and Barr" whilst retaining separate (parish) churches.
