St. Mary's Cathedral

St. Mary's Cathedral

St. Mary's Cathedral is a Christian church located in the Irish city of Limerick, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is open to visitors on weekends, primarily for worship services. Built in 1168, St. Mary's Cathedral is the oldest building in Limerick and holds significant historical and cultural importance.

The cathedral’s bell tower was built in the 14th century and stands at 120 feet tall, making it a very striking feature. Five chandeliers hang from the cathedral’s ceiling, three of which are large and were made in Dublin—they are only lit on special occasions. Currently, St. Mary's Cathedral still serves its original function as a place of prayer and worship for the people of Limerick. The cathedral is open to the public six days a week and welcomes both worshippers and visitors on Sundays. If you happen to visit on a weekend evening, you’ll be warmly welcomed to enjoy the choir’s evening prayers in the church, where you’re sure to be moved by the sacred atmosphere.
