St Ignatius Church, Galway

St Ignatius Church, Galway, Jesuit church on Sea Road, Galway, Ireland

St Ignatius Church is a Roman Catholic church served by the Society of Jesus, standing next to Coláiste Iognáid in Galway. Built in 1863, it is a protected structure. The church was originally a chapel of ease for St Joseph's parish and reverted to that role in October 2003.

The Jesuit order first arrived in Galway in 1620 and established their initial school in 1645. The church building itself was constructed in 1863 and has served as a religious and community center ever since.

The church is used by Coláiste Iognáid, the Jesuit school next door, and a Jesuit from the church always sits on the school's board of management. Mass is held on weekdays at 9:00 am and confessions are heard on Saturday between 11:30 am and 12 pm.

The church stands on Sea Road beside Coláiste Iognáid. Mass is held at 9:00 am Monday to Saturday, with a Vigil Mass on Saturday at 6:00 pm and Sunday Mass at 11:00 am; confessions are heard on Saturday from 11:30 am to noon. Visitors should avoid these times to see the interior without a congregation.

The Jesuit Centre for Spirituality and Culture beside the church, founded in 2006, is now closed. The church itself remains a chapel of ease, as it was from 1863 until 1971, when Bishop Michael Browne had it made a parish church; it reverted in October 2003.
