CHRIST THE KING CHURCH IN CABRA

The origins of Christ the King Catholic Church are intrinsically linked to a significant moment in Irish religious history: the International Eucharistic Congress held in Dublin in 1932. The establishment of the church in the subsequent year suggests a period of heightened religious devotion and a desire to commemorate this major event with the creation of new and substantial places of worship. The official opening of Christ the King Catholic Church took place on 29th October 1933, a significant occasion presided over by Archbishop Byrne.
