St Catherine's Church, Dublin, Roman Catholic church on Meath Street, Dublin, Ireland

The church building presents a mountain granite facade with Doric semi-columns, following traditional Palladian architectural principles from the 18th century.

Originally constructed in 1185 along the Slí Mhór route, St Catherine's Church underwent reconstruction between 1760 and 1769 under architect John Smyth.

The church maintains connections to Irish literature through James Joyce's short story 'The Sisters,' which references a former priest of the parish.

Regular Sunday services take place at 11:00 AM, with the church offering both in-person attendance and online streaming options for the congregation.

The cemetery, dating from 1552 to 1894, contains memorials to participants of the 1803 Rising and now functions as a public park.
