Our Faith

We follow the Christian faith as it was expressed in the early church, shared today by Christians across many denominations, including the Apostles’ Creed.

The Apostles' Creed

Our Faith Chrish Church Cathedral

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Worship at Christ Church Cathedral

Christ Church Cathedral is the diocesan cathedral of the Church of Ireland Diocese of Dublin and Glendalough.

Our pattern of worship and prayer follows The Book of Common Prayer. We hold spoken and sung services in the Anglican tradition every morning and evening, and our Cathedral Eucharist takes place every Sunday morning, led by our choir.

We follow the seasons of the liturgical year and observe holy days, saints’ days, and other festivals throughout the year.

We welcome people from all Christian traditions, other faiths, and those of no faith, and we work to make the cathedral a place where everyone feels included and able to share in conversation.
