In-Depth Information
Cost and Hours: Free, church bulletins at the doorway tell of upcoming Masses and
concerts, located across Salmon Weir Bridge on outskirts of town, tel. 091/563-577.
Visiting the Cathedral: The interior is a treat—mahogany pews set on green Con-
nemara marble floors under a Canadian cedar ceiling. The acoustically correct cedar en-
hances the church's fine pipe organ. Two thousand worshippers sit in the round facing the
central altar. A Dublin woman carved the 14 larger-than-life Stations of the Cross. The
carving above the chapel (left of entry) is from the old St. Nicholas church. Explore the
modern stained glass. Find the Irish Holy Family—with Mary knitting and Jesus offering
Joseph a cup of tea. The window depicting the Last Supper is particularly creative—find
the 12 apostles.
