Saint Francis Xavier Church, Neoclassical church in Upper Gardiner Street, Dublin, Ireland.
The Saint Francis Xavier Church features a granite ashlar tetrastyle Greek Ionic pedimented portico with four giant columns framing the central nave bay.
The church opened its doors on May 3, 1832, following a design created by Father Bartholomew Esmonde and architect Joseph B. Keane using cut granite stone.
The church houses an extensive collection of Victorian-era Italian altar pieces, paintings, and sculptures, including works by Ignazio Jacometti and B. Celantano.
Weekly Mass services take place on Sundays at 9:15 AM, 11 AM, and 7:30 PM, with additional Friday morning sessions in the John Sullivan Room.
The remains of Blessed John Sullivan rest within the church, while the building appeared in the 1991 film The Commitments during a performance of 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'.
