The church in the heart of the city with the city at its heart
St Ann’s Church on Dawson Street (beside The Mansion House) maintains a very busy city centre ministry dating back to 1707.
The Eucharist is celebrated daily at 12.45pm (except Saturday) and the clergy are responsible for the pastoral care of two hospitals, the chaplaincy to the Royal College of Surgeons and Dublin Port including a Mission to Seafarers Centre in the dock area which is open every evening of the year and a considerable parochial ministry.
The church, a much loved place of worship, is also the venue for civic events, lunchtime recitals and evening concerts.
It is also a popular destination for tourists with upwards of 40,000 visitors annually.
Sunday Service is at 11.15 (alternately Matins and Eucharist) with full choir. Christians of all traditions are welcome to participate in all services and to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion.
Monday to Friday, St Ann’s is open from 10.00am to 4.00pm for private prayer and visitors.
Dignitaries arrive for special service at St Ann’s to mark the assembly of the 31st Dail
Eucharistic Congress Pilgrim Walk
Dubliners and visitors to the capital will be able to take part in a city centre “Camino” or Pilgrim Walk during the International Eucharistic Congress in June. Details of the Pilgrim Walk, which involves visiting and praying in seven city centre churches were announced following an ecumenical prayer service in St. Ann’s Church.
A Pilgrim Walk is a sacred journey during which pilgrims seek to strengthen and renew their faith. Pilgrims walk with a clear intention, to draw closer to God.
The Walk is being held from Saturday 2nd –16th June. During this time Pilgrims will be able to walk and visit seven designated churches in Dublin City and spend time in quiet prayer and reflection in each. All pilgrims will be issued with a “Pilgrim Passport” that will be stamped in each of the seven churches visited.
The walk concludes with a visit to St. Mary’s Pro–Cathedral, Marlborough Street where pilgrims will receive a Pilgrimage Certificate of completion. People can participate in groups, on their own, they can complete the Pilgrim walk or“Camino” in a day or throughout the days of the Congress.
Speaking at the launch, Archbishop Michael Jackson said, “I am delighted that St Ann’s, Dawson Street, is associated with this most recent initiative in the exciting developments towards the International Eucharistic Congress. St Ann’s location allows a prime opportunity to welcome Congress pilgrims, something I know the parish feels privileged to be able to do.”
The seven churches participating in the Pilgrim Walk are St Ann’s, Dawson Street, St. James, James Street, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Whitefriar Street, John’s Lane, Thomas Street,St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street, St. Michans, Halston Street, and St. Mary’s Pro Cathedral, Marlborough Street. These churches will open from 8am to 8pm in order to facilitate pilgrims. A Pilgrim Mass will also be held at 5.45 pm each day in St. Mary’s Pro–Cathedral.
