St Ann’s Parish Church

The church in the heart of the city with the city at its heart. St Ann’s Church on Dawson Street (close to The Mansion House) maintains a very busy city centre ministry dating back to 1707.

The Eucharist is celebrated at 12.45pm Tuesday to Thursday. Prayers for those who are ill, with the Laying on of Hands, are normally said on a Tuesday and stewards from the Church’s Ministry of Healing are available to talk confidentially with anyone who wishes to do so. PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES THERE WILL BE NO LUNCHTIME SERVICE FOR THE MOMENT. WE WILL RESUME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The clergy are responsible for the pastoral care of two hospitals, the chaplaincy to the Royal College of Surgeons and Dublin Port –– including the Mission to Seafarers Centre in the dock area (open every evening of the year) –– and a considerable parochial ministry.

The church, a much loved place of worship, is also the venue for civic events, lunchtime recitals and evening concerts, as well as being a popular destination for tourists, with upwards of 40,000 visitors annually.

Sunday Service is at 11.00 (alternately Matins and Eucharist) with full choir. Christians of all traditions are welcome to participate in all services and to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion.

St Ann’s is currently open Monday to Friday from 10am to 2pm for private prayer and visitors.

St Stephen’s Church

St Stephen’s Church, also known as The Pepper Canister Church or the Pepper Pot Church was the last of a series of Georgian Churches built by the Church of Ireland. This ‘Gem of Dublin’ is situated on Mount Street Crescent and is well worth a visit.

On this site you will find directions to St Stephen’s Church along with the Church Service Schedule. A Detailed Church History is also provided.

St Stephen’s is also a popular concert venue.

Major conservation works, including the restoration of the distinctive copper cupola and the full repair of the entire outside of the church, were completed in 2010 in a restoration programme started in 2007 which has cost in excess of €750,000.

The Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month at 11am and all are welcome.
