Our Lady of Victories Church.

 

The church in Sallynoggin is situated on Pearse Street on a sweeping bend

with a partially open green space in front of it and with shops directly

opposite across two roads which makes the green space a virtual island.

The church itself was opened in 1955 and dedicated to Our Lady of Victories.

Inside the church can be found the usual layout of seating and a central

nave leading to an open plan type altar area. The baptismal font is

near the altar and close to the northern transept. There are a number of notable

shrines and statues in the church. The Saint Kevin statue is to venerate

the local patron saint. The main shrine would be to our Lady of Victories.

The outside of the church reminds me of older churches and is quite

striking as it stands out from the skyline as you approach it.

The church is still in practical daily use, with the mornings given over to Mass,

 some Rosary groups in some churches, and funerals. So unless I intended to

 fully attend mass I would normally keep my three Saints visits to the

afternoons, this is after the 12noon Angelus and before 3.30pm approximately.
