Services in Irish
Regular services in the Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough are conducted through the medium of Irish, most under the auspices of Cumann Gaelach na hEaglaise (the Irish Guild of the Church).
The Irish Guild of the Church
The Irish Guild of the Church was founded in 1914 to
- promote all that tends to preserve within the Church of Ireland the spirit of the ancient Celtic Church and to provide a bond of union for all members of the Church of Ireland inspired with Irish ideals
- promote the use of the Irish language in the Church
- collect from Irish sources suitable hymns and other devotional literature
- encourage the use of Irish art and music in the Church.
The Guild organises regular services as follows:
- The second Sunday each month (except July and August) at 8.30 am – Holy Communion in the chapel of the Church of Ireland College of Education, 96 Upper Rathmines Road, Dublin 6
- The fourth Sunday each month (except June, July, August and December) at 5 pm – Holy Communion in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin 8
- Interdenominational Service on the (second) Friday at 8 pm during the Octave of Christian Unity in January in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin 8.
Services are organised in other places throughout the country from time to time – for example, St Patrick’s Day, festivals.
The Irish Guild of the Church supports Irish language services in Christ Church Cathedral on certain occasions when Evensong is sung by the Cathedral choir.
