St. Teresa's Church
Situated between the popular shopping streets: Grafton Street and Clarendon Street, St. Teresa’s Church is a haven of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of Dublin’s city centre.
St. Teresa’s Church was erected between 1793 and 1808 and is the first Catholic parish built after the Roman Catholic Relief Act was passed in 1791.
Inside St. Teresa's Church
The interior of the church has pastel-painted walls that will remind you of a child’s bedroom. The church is arranged in the shape of a Christian cross and can be accessed from three different streets.
The church is unembellished, with a few sculptures by John Hogan, considered one of Ireland’s greatest sculptors. The most noted is the ‘Virgin and Child’. Another highlight is Phyllis Burke’s seven stained glass windows that project a dim light into the colourful interior.
Simple and Special
This oasis of calm is extremely curious, especially due to the wall’s unusual colours and the church's distribution. St. Teresa's is located in the heart of Dublin, just metres away from luxury boutiques.
