St Columba’s Church, Drung was built in 1871 close to the site of an earlier church and dedicated on Sunday October 5th 1871 by the Most Re. Dr Kelly, Bishop of Derry. The Parish Priest was the Rev. Michael Farnan. The area of Drung was then part of the present parish of Lower Moville. The contractor’s price was reputed to be £1100 and £430 was collected on the day the church was dedicated. The builders were Messrs Gallagher & Sons, Strand Road, Derry.
