Parish Mission Statement

Inspired by the Gospel, we the parishioners of Halston Street Parish recognise the dignity and uniqueness of each person.

Like Jesus, who washed the feet of others, we are committed to serving one another and to making our parish a community where everyone feels welcomed, accepted, valued, listened to and cared for.

Capuchin Vocations

To help celebrate World Mission Sunday, Arno ter Burg and his friends from Geldrop parish in the Netherlands who will join us for the 12 noon Mass on 22^nd.

They come from the Parish of St. Brigid in Geldrop and have many Irish links which they will share with us.

22^nd October is Mission Sunday and the Holy Father invites all Catholics to contribute to a special collection. Every person in every parish in every country where the Church is present will be celebrating together and sharing what they have, no matter how little. It is the one Sunday in the year when the Mass is celebrated exclusively for missionary activity. Donations are collected at these worldwide Masses and they go to support churches, hospitals, schools and vocations in countries where the Church is new, young or poor. It is also the one Sunday in the year when your generosity goes directly to help mission parishes overseas and reach out with Jesus’ message of hope and love. World Missions Ireland is the Holy Father’s official charity for overseas mission. It is responsible for coordinating Mission Sunday in Ireland and, through local bishops, churches, and missionary congregations around the world ensures that resources are distributed equitably and justly on the basis of need. In offering our prayers, we join with missionaries everywhere in communion and compassion to support them in spreading the Good News, and by giving a donation we respond to Christ’s call to feed the hungry and clothe the naked so please give what you can. Thank You.
The theme is ‘Reach out and Spread the Joy’.

Mass Bookings for Halston Street

At the Parish Pastoral Council meeting on 10 October, it was agreed that, as and from the first Sunday in Advent (27^th November), the Saturday 6pm Mass and the Sunday noon Mass would both be shared Masses. It is hoped that this change will help facilitate the many families who wish to come to Halston Street to pray for special intentions or to remember the anniversaries their loved ones.

The first Saturday of the month will continue to be reserved for the Monthly Mass for Recently Deceased

Shared Mass cards are available from the Parish Office and at the weekend Masses. The Novena Masses for these Shared Masses are celebrated in Halston Street each month.

General Information

The priests of the parish and the Parish Pastoral Council wish you and your family peace.

The parish of St. Michan was constituted in 1096 making it one of the oldest parishes in the diocese. We are fortunate to be living in such an historic part of Dublin, the significance of which is often lost as we observe people coming and going on a daily basis as they commute to work from the suburbs.

There are two Catholic churches in our parish – the parish church of St. Michan (Halston Street) and the friary church of St. Mary of the Angels (Church Street). The parish is presently under the care of the Capuchin Franciscan Order.
