history
Castlebar Order of Malta was founded in 1943, that’s 75 years ago.
The First Officer in Charge was Capt. Eddie Lynn
They held there meeting in the gate lodge of the military barracks in Castlebar.
The next Officer in Charge was Tom Robinson. Tom was a member of the Ballina Unit and when work brought him to Castlebar he became a member of the Castlebar Unit.
In January 1975, Dr. Malachy Powell the Director of the Ambulance Corps, asked John Cunningham, a former member of the Tuam Unit to be Officer in Charge of the Castlebar Unit.
At that time there was no Headquarters and meetings were held in the social services building in Castlebar.
That year the Castlebar Unit went to win the first Connaught and All-Ireland Competitions.
A purpose built Unit Headquarters was built in 1988 on Pavilion Road.
But due to unforseen circumstances we had to vacate that premises in 2013.
