Holy Rosary Church

Gazing upon Holy Rosary Church, can you sense the echoes of its past? This modern church, nestled in Old Court Avenue, Firhouse, Dublin 24, stands as a testament to a vibrant community’s enduring faith. Holy Rosary Church replaced an older temporary structure, serving the newer housing estates in Ballycullen, Ballycragh, and Oldcourt. Its official opening and blessing by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin on November 1st, 2009, marked a new chapter in the parish’s history. The story, however, begins much earlier. The original St. Anne’s Church, serving the broader Bohernabreena Parish since 1868, eventually needed a sister church to cater to the growing population. Holy Rosary Church became that sister, a beacon of faith in the expanding community. While Holy Rosary Church itself is relatively new, it carries the weight of a long-standing tradition. It serves as a vital hub for the local community, offering not just spiritual guidance but also a place for connection. Mass is celebrated here every Sunday at 10:30 am and on Holy Days, also at 10:30 am. On Saturdays, the church welcomes parishioners for Vigil Mass at 6:00 pm. For those seeking solace and spiritual connection during the week, Holy Rosary Church opens its doors for Monday morning Mass at 10:00 am, followed by an hour of Eucharistic Adoration. This modern church stands in contrast to its older sibling, St. Anne’s, showcasing the evolution of the parish while maintaining a shared commitment to faith. Holy Rosary Church embodies the spirit of its community, a place where both long-time residents and newcomers find a spiritual home.
