ALTAR AND SANCTUARY OF ST MARY OF THE ANGELS, CHURCH STREET, DUBLIN


Some more photos from St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street.  To think this church was almost gutted.  The plan had been to re-orient the church so the altar would be at the south side of the church (it runs east-west).  One of the priests, Fr. Henry, intervened and stopped the planned demolition.  It is said that Padraig Pearse's father worked on the marblework.  The Sacred Heart chapel was removed some years ago and sold to a church down the country (where, I do not know).









St. Francis is presented to Christ by the Mother of God.


The ambo shows St. Anthony and St. Clare.
