Stewards of the Cathedral's Millennium

For nearly a thousand years, Christ Church Cathedral has stood at the heart of Dublin, a place of worship, a cultural landmark, and a symbol of continuity for the city. From its beginnings in the 11th century to its role today as a living community of faith, the building has been cared for by generations of people who wanted to protect it for the future.

As we look ahead to the Cathedral’s millennium in 2028, we are launching a major restoration and renewal campaign: Stewards of the Cathedral’s Millennium.

This once-in-a-generation project invites friends, visitors, and supporters to help prepare Christ Church for the next thousand years.

Our Priorities

The campaign focuses on carefully chosen projects that will protect the cathedral’s structure and help it continue to serve and inspire people for generations to come.

Our immediate priorities include:

Vital conservation work on the cathedral’s interior, including the stained-glass windows and stonework.

Comprehensive cleaning of the floor tiles, stone surfaces, and monuments, ensuring the Cathedral’s beauty and structural soundness endures.

Transforming the grounds into a calm, reflective space inspired by the peace of cloister gardens.
