cal Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in the "Greek style". [2] The church was originally designed by Patrick Byrne and later extended by William Henry Byrne who added a portico and pediment. [2]
The interior of the church, roof and dome were destroyed by a fire on 26 January 1920, [3] but were rebuilt and reopened by 1922. [2] The dome was made even higher in the rebuilding effort. [3]
It is mentioned as "Rathmines' blue dome" in Ulysses . [4]
Two characters in Sally Rooney's 2021 novel Beautiful World, Where Are You attend Mass in the church. [5]
