The community is served by a number of churches, the two main ones being St. Mark's Church of Ireland and St. Macartan's Roman Catholic Chapel. There are a small number of gospel halls in the area.

There are three primary schools, two Roman Catholic, Cornagague and Corranny, and one controlled – Aghadrumsee. All are sited in rural locations within three miles of each other and fall under the Western Education and Library Board (WELB) catchment area.
