I love cathedrals and have to visit every one I come across. This one was a gem! Beautiful architecture and gorgeous stained glass. It felt very much like a living, breathing worship community while still preserving its history. The cemetery was also very interesting to view. If you are going to visit King John’s Castle as well while you’re in town, I would suggest visiting the cathedral first, as it will give you a good mental image and context when you come across mention of it in the castle exhibits.

Sacred Heart Catholic Church

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest is a Roman Catholic Society of Apostolic life in canonical form founded in 1990. The Institute is of Pontifical Right. The life of the members of the Institute (canons, seminarians, sisters and oblates) is centered on the solemn liturgy in the Extraordinary Form of the Latin Rite. The spirituality of the Institute stems from Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Benedict and Saint Thomas Aquinas. In the daily liturgy and devotions, the canons of the Institute of Christ the King worship in a special way the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus present in the Holy Eucharist.

There is a Sung Mass every Sunday offered in the Extraordinary Form at 10.30 am. The liturgy is probably the best to be found anywhere in Ireland. The two priests of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, currently resident are excellent singers. There is also a well trained choir and an expert organist. All Masses as well as Vespers and Benediction, are livestreamed and recorded, so it is easy to discover what to expect when visiting the church. The classical interior of the church is spectacular, and will be better still when the restoration works are completed. Go to the Institute of Christ the King's Irish website to see how beautiful it is.

Holy Trinity Abbey Church

Reviewed By AussiesBallarat - Ballarat, Australia

Near the Visitor Centre, this stunning church is easy to find in the village of Adare, and well worth a visit. The stone work is complemented by magnificent stained-glass windows. We wished it had have been a Sunday so that we could attend a service - it would be magical.
