Welcome to the website of Saint Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, the church which serves as the Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. Saint Mary’s was constituted in 1825 from Saint Mary’s Chapel Liffey Street, whose pre-Reformation monastic antecedent was the great Benedictine, and later Cistercian Abbey of Saint Mary’s founded in the twelfth century. The present church is built on a site which was part of the ancient monastic foundation. The church was dedicated on 14th November 1825, the Feast of Saint Laurence O’Toole, Patron Saint of the Archdiocese of Dublin under the patronage of the ‘Conception of the Virgin.’

  As the Parish Church of the people of the Pro-Cathedral parish, Saint Mary’s continues to be primarily a place of worship where God’s Pilgrim People are nourished daily in the celebration of the Eucharist. The church is open throughout the week for the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments and for both public and private prayer and devotions.

It is the hope of the Parish team that when you visit  Saint Mary’s you will find a peaceful oasis of prayer at the heart of a sometimes hectic city. Join with us in our Eucharistic worship and communal prayer or spend some time in silent prayer. Please respect the sacredness of this place, made holy by the presence of the Lord and the prayer and devotion of generations of worshippers.
