Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in…read morethe "Greek style". It's is a colossal church and you can literally see it from miles away. It is beautifully designed both on the inside and out. I popped in on a quiet Monday morning and had the whole church to myself. You can light a candle or sit I. Contemplation. They also do have a full schedule of masses and activities. Would be amazing to see this place host a Latin mass!

St. Mary's is an absolutely stunning piece of architecture that has become a symbol of the…read moreRathmines area. It's an absolutely massive structure tucked in next to a row of Georgian houses that only helps to further off set it from the rest of the area. In fact, it's clearly visible from the Guinness Storehouse's Gravity bar. The uniqueness of this church does not end in it's external beauty. It's also a very popular church for Rathmines parishioners so it might be difficult enough to find a spot in the pews. However, the big draw is the folk mass held on Saturday evenings, in which the usual church music is replaced with a sort of rock and roll band. A kind of hip, cool tribute to the young population of Rathmines. I'd say it's definitely worth a visit even if you're not of the religious persuasion.
