Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners Church

About

cal Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in the "Greek style". The church was originally designed by Patrick Byrne and later extended by William Henry Byrne who added a portico and pediment. The interior of the church, roof and dome were destroyed by a fire on 26 January 1920, but were rebuilt and reopened by 1922. The dome was made even higher in the rebuilding effort.

Two characters in Sally Rooney 's 2021 novel Beautiful World, Where Are You attend Mass in the church.
