Catholic Sites in Dublin

[runnerryan]

I am going to be in Dublin for several days a few weeks from now, including for Ash Wednesday. I was wondering if anyone had any information, especially good websites I could go to, about churches, shrines, adoration chapels, and other Catholic stuff I might want to checkout when I am in Dublin.
Thank you.

Some of these are not in Dublin, pick the ones that apply. Here

Dublin is a pretty big place, you can search here.Catholic Churches in Dublin.

One place I want to visit is Saint Anthonys Shrine. Here

Good luck and have a good time. :irish2:

I can’t help you with churches/adoration chapels/Mass times since my family are in Cork but you should go to Trinity College and see the Book of Kells, Christchruch Cathedral (now protestant) but it dates back to 1038, St Patrick’s Cathedral (very large, dates to the 13th century)
This site has lots of information: dublintourist.com/directory/places_to_visit/churches/

If you have time, you should try to get down to Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. Is a monastic site founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century. It is very easy to get there from Dublin.
heritageireland.ie/en/HistoricSites/East/GlendaloughVisitorCentreWicklow/
It is so peaceful there.

What pissed me off is that even though Dublin is the capital of Southern Ireland, the biggest and nicest churches, St. Patrics and that other one that they ring the bells from on New Years are Anglican. I asked one of the guys in one of them about it and he said they offered the Catholics one of them but they couldn’t afford to maintiain it or something so they didn’t accept. I don’t know how much truth is involved in that but it was just what I heard.

Of course you can visit the tomb of Servant of God, Matt Talbot in Gardiner Street, the tomb of St Valentine in Whitefriar Street and finally the tomb of Blessed Charles of Mount Argus whilst you are here.

Blessed Charles will be proclaimed a saint by Pope Benedict XVI later this year (date pending).

A simple google search will reveal all the details you need to visit these sites.

Hope you enjoy Dublin!!
