United Dioceses of Dublin & Glendalough

Dublin Council of Churches has announced the return of their annual ecumenical service to mark St Patrick’s Day on March 17 at 6pm in St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin. For the first time since 2019 the Cathedral is able to welcome back this gathering of the 14 churches from the Orthodox, the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Dissenter tradition who are members of the Dublin Council of Churches.

 

The theme this year is “Speak to us of God!” – a quote from a legendary dialogue between Celtic princess Eithne Alba and St Patrick.The service remembers and honours Ireland’s ancestor in faith, Patrick, Patron Saint and exemplary figure of courage and steadfastness in the face of adversity.

 

All are welcome to join this celebration in word, song and traditional Irish music. The Revd Andrew Kingston of Methodist Centenary Church, Leeson Park will address the gathering.
