Holy Family Church opens
150th Jubilee Year
On Sunday 8th February 2026, Holy Family Church, Aughrim Street, joyfully opened its 150th Jubilee Year with a moving Mass presided by Bishop Paul Dempsey, Auxiliary Bishop of Dublin. The celebration brought together parishioners, our Italian and Romanian Greek-Catholic Communities, and many friends, neighbours and representatives of the wider local community – a living expression of our Jubilee motto: Rooted in Community, Growing in Faith.
Parish Pastoral Plan
In April 2021, Archbishop Dermot Farrell established the Building Hope Task Force. Its purpose was to examine the needs of people across the Archdiocese of Dublin and to support parish communities in a time of renewal, encouraging creativity and hope as they look to the future.
Following the publication of the Building Hope Pastoral Strategic Planning Resource 2025–2027, parishioners were invited to take part in shaping the future direction of our Parish.
In early 2025, our first Parish gathering was held, giving people the opportunity to reflect on what is working well, what could be further developed, and what should be prioritised in the years ahead.
Drawing on this feedback, we are pleased to present the new Pastoral Plan 2025-2026 for Holy Family Parish.
Cardinal Paul Cullen blessed the foundation stone of the Church of the Holy Family in April 1874. The first Mass was celebrated on the 8th of December 1876. It was a Chapel of Ease to St Paul’s, Arran Quay. On the 18th of May 1893 it was constituted a parish by Archbishop William Walsh.
Aughrim Street is also home to the Italian Catholic Community in Dublin and to the Romanian Greek-Catholic Community in Dublin.
