STAINED GLASS WINDOWS, HALSTON STREET, DUBLIN.

The above stained glass window is from St. Michan's Church, Halston St. Dublin and was taken by Br. Richard Hendrick OFM Cap. St. Michan's is Dublin's oldest parish. Truly beautiful. The photos can be viewed here.

Holy Family, Aughrim St., Dublin

One of the old Dublin Churches built after the lifting of the Penal Laws, Holy Family, or simply Aughrim (pronounced ock-rimStreet, is a beautiful church. It's a large but not wealthy parish, with a lot of elderly parishioners. It has two priests. The more I hear and read of what has been lost around the Catholic world the more I realise how our native Irish conservatism has preserved quite a lot of our heritage - at least more than other countries.
