1857 – St. Catherine’s Church, Meath Street, Dublin

Dedicated in 1858 and is the second church to occupy the same site. The foundation stone of the new church was laid on 30 June 1852. Construction of the main church was completed in March 1857, but the original design of the upper portion of the tower and spire were never completed. The tower as exists today was finished by Ashlin & Coleman in 1922.

Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful interior, the austerity of the masonry work contrasts with the wonderful roof, organ loft and entrance porch. Much of the original fixtures exist including side altars and stained-glass windows. The church suffered damage from an arson attack in January 2012, some applied decoration was destroyed, but the church has since been restored.
