We are a community for retired Marists, some of whom are involved in pastoral ministry and chaplaincy work in the Marist school, St Mary’s College. The school complex includes St Mary’s church, open to the public and is known for its beautiful stone architecture, including well-executed granite walling and stained glass windows.

St Teresa’s parish is entrusted to the Marist community and is located in a challenging area of the city. We are an open and inclusive parish which welcomes all people into our church. We are committed to exploring new opportunities to respectfully encourage all to take an active part in parish life. St Teresa’s aspires to be a living church witnessing to our spiritual heritage through the centrality of prayer and worship and through a commitment to social justice.

The community also provides support to the chaplaincy team in the Marist Catholic University School in Dublin city centre. CUS (Catholic University School) 89 Lower Leeson Street Dublin 02 KC81 Ireland www.cus.ie

The parish is entrusted to the Marist community. The community is relatively small with about one thousand families. Our mission statement reads – ‘St Brendan’s is a caring Catholic parish inspired by the Gospel, celebrating and working together to build a community of justice, love and peace’. The vitality of the community can be seen in the great variety of groups within the parish – Pastoral Council, Finance Committee, Baptismal team, Funeral Team, Lay Led Liturgy group, Eucharistic Ministers, Ministers of the Word, musicians and singers, St Vincent de Paul Society, Care for the planet group, not to mention all the groups using the Parish Centre.

Our ministry is to be a Marist presence in the local church. We do this by celebrating the sacraments in the local church of St Brendan’s; providing chaplaincy service to our Marist secondary school, Chanel College; chaplaincy to two local convents. There are eight members living in the community with two confreres in local nursing homes. The ministry of loving service to each other in community is a primary apostolate.
