  It's a marvel... Everything is placed with contemplative precision, everything speaks about God here..

  One of the most beautiful churches in Cork. What strikes the visitors the most is not its architecture - pretty simple, with those little red bricks - but the rich decorations found inside. The altar is surrounded by amazing Byzantine mosaics, and the presence of many side chapels make the atmosphere even more solemn.

  Possibly the biggest church in Cork City Centre. An incredibly beautiful church and always attracts tourists. It's large look from the outside is matched with great depth inside. An array of mesmerising mosaics present through the church. Confessions are heard in in the daytime on saturday before evening mass. They have mass at 7.00am on a Sunday which is the earliest in Cork City and is followed by mass at 09.00am and 12.00pm Sundays. Sunday masses are well received with people from different social and political classes coming together to pray and give witness to God. Only church I know of in Cork City that does not take any collections of money during mass. It's not rare to see people outside the church begging for spare change, it's part and parcel being a church in a City Centre.
