Веде свій початок від 1932 р, коли Ірландію відвідав вл. Миколай (Чарнецький), майбутній. блаженний священномученик:
The first public Greek-Catholic presence in Ireland was during the 1932 Dublin Eucharistic Congress, when Bishop Nicholas (Charnetsky), then Apostolic Visitor and later Exarch in north-eastern Poland, western Belarus and Volyn visited Ireland at the invitation of the Redemptorists. Bishop Nicholas lodged for a fortnight in the guest-house of the Redemptoristine monastery on Saint Alphonsus Road and offered the Divine Liturgy in the monastery church each morning. On the second day of the Eucharistic Congress, Bishop Nicholas served a Pontifical Divine Liturgy for all the Congress participants in the Jesuit Church on Gardiner Street; an icon-screen was especially made and installed for this purpose with hand-painted icons (our best efforts to ascertain what eventually became of the icon-screen have not succeeded) and a choir directed by Paul Mailleux, S.J. (later Rector of the Pontifical Russian College in Rome) sang the Pontifical Liturgy in Church-Slavonic. Father (later Archbishop) Fulton J. Sheen of the United States was among the participating clergy.
After the Eucharistic Congress, Bishop Nicholas remained in Ireland for several weeks, visiting various Redemptorist churches and schools. He then went back to Poland

Каплиця св. Кевіна, що належить до Про-катедрального собору св. Марії (St. Mary's Pro-Cathedral) - г

Собор знаходиться на вул. Марльборо (Marlborough Street), 83. Вхід до каплиці - позаду собору, з паралельної вул. Томаса (Thomas Lane).

When the original St. Kevin's chapel was incorporated into the main church in the late twenties, another building was erected as a chapel to the north of the Pro-Cathedral, at the rear of the parochial houses but fronting onto Thomas's Lane. This narrow street was originally a service lane to the great houses which stood on Marlborough and present day O'Connell Street. It still serves that function but the carriages of the nobility have been replaced by Bord Telecom vans and supply trucks to the Gresham Hotel. Baptisms and marriages take place nowadays in this later St. Kevin's. Numbers have dropped considerably since Dublin Corporation levelled city centre flat complexes in the the 1970's and decimated the population of St. Mary's parish. But the records are still preserved, even of baptisms which took place in the Liffey Street chapel, and prove a valuable hunting ground for genealogists and historians from all over the English speaking world. Among the hundreds of thousands of entries is one for Matthew, son of Charles and Elizabeth Talbot, baptised in the Pro-Cathedral on 5 May, 1856. This child was destined to become a servant of God, the first step to sainthood.

St. Kevin's is a rectangular shaped chapel lit by seven semi-circular windows at an upper level. Over the marble altar and framed by two Corinthian columns is a painting of St. Kevin of Glendalough. A famous Dublin Capuchin Friar, Fr. Angelus, was the model for St. Kevin. The recently restored Stations of the Cross are a fine example of the mid-nineteenth century Flemish school of painting.

11:00 (зазвичай, але напередодні слід уточнити). У великі свята літургія може служитися у соборі.
