Saint Catherine's Church

Overview

Saint Catherine's Church in Dublin City centre was designed by architect John Smyth and completed in 1769, although it stands on a site with ecclesiastical significance dating back to 1177.

Saint Catherine’s closed its doors in the 1960s but in 1998 it was bought by a local Anglican group and restored as a place of worship. The church interior is typical of the period, with an oak panelled gallery, cast iron columns and boxed pews.

The church currently offers a vibrant ministry to an ever growing community and has been an enduring presence in the locality for centuries. The beauty of the current church continues to stand as a prominent feature of Thomas Street.
