Summary

Description

There are many churches in the City of Waterford but this one is not easy to find as one can only gain access through an unattractive carpark and to find it you really need to know its exact location.

The official description still readsreads as follows: “St. Patrick’s Church in Chapel Lane is that great rarity in Ireland that is an eighteenth century Catholic chapel. There are records of Mass being celebrated here as early as 1704. From the outside, the building looks like a large storehouse. The interior is a single cell with a horseshoe shaped gallery. St. Patricks Church has considerable charm and is vividly evocative of the period in which it was built.”

However, I believe that it is now exclusively [or acts as] a Russian Orthodox church. Initially, the parish had the status of an attached community to the Patriarchal Representation of Holy Apostles Peter and Paul in Dublin, but in 2010 the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church decided to include it in the Munster deanery of the Diocese of Sourozh of the Moscow Patriarchate.
