| Description |
|
Built between 1870-75, this large French Gothic Revival church was designed by John O’ Neill one of the most distinguished Catholic architects working in the north of Ireland in the 19th century. Built in the French Gothic style it was dedicated on St. Patrick’s Day,1875. On the left-hand aisle are depicted mural scenes from the life of Christ, by Charles Russell.
The principal features are the Nativity Window, the pulpit with its Celtic interlace decoration, designed by William Scott in 1921, and the Italian Gothic High Altar. The church was buttressed in 1921 because of signs of weakness in the walls. The main spire planned by the architect was finished in 1992.
