About St. John’s

Picture
WELCOME to the web site of the Church of St. John the Evangelist in Sandymount, Dublin, Ireland. St John’s is a small and active Anglo-Catholic congregation within the Church of Ireland.

ST. JOHN’S is unique for a number of reasons. Built by Sidney Herbert, brother of the Earl of Pembroke and administrator of the Pembroke and Fitzwilliam estates, and opened for worship as a Trustee Church in 1850, our building is a replica of a 13th century church in Normandy, thus making us the only example of Neo-Norman architecture in Dublin from a time when Neo-Gothic was the norm.

As part of the Church of Ireland, which is known for its simple liturgies and low-church piety, St John’s has been and still is one of the few Anglican Catholic congregations on this island. Though we are small, we sing the entire Mass each Sunday, using the vestments, incense and Sanctus bells so beloved within our tradition. We are also blessed to have the only Stations of the Cross and Monstrance within the Church of Ireland. As a trustee church we have no parish, St. John's is involved in the local fellowship of churches.

FELLOWSHIP is also of great importance to us, and we enjoy welcoming all Sunday visitors over a cup of coffee or tea after Mass. Another part of our mission is to use our building for concerts that both open our doors to the community and help us raise funds for our ongoing restoration. In recent years we have completed the East end, the West end and the tower.

Our current project is the roof as well as the North and South walls. Watch this web site for details of our festival and weekly services and for details of forthcoming concerts and other events.
