Together with nearby Menlough, Skehana is a half-parish within the diocesan parish of Killascobe in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tuam.[2][3] An annual arts festival was held there in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[citation needed] The local Gaelic Athletic Association club, Skehana Hurling Club, fields hurling teams at underage and adult Junior A grades.[4][5]

The ruins of an Anglo-Norman tower house, Garbally Castle, are located immediately to the west of the local national school.
