For Baptisms in English, please telephone the Priory for an appointment. Please note: before a booking is accepted, a copy of the birth certificate of the baby must be given. If the person requesting a baptism for their baby is not a resident in the Parish of St. Saviour’s, a letter is also required from their Parish Priest. Normally, Baptisms take place on Saturdays.

For inquiries related to Parish records and the Sacraments, please phone (01) 889 7610 and ask to speak with the sacristan. The sacristan is available to take calls from Tuesday to Saturday from 09:30 – 12:00.

Before a marriage can take place at St. Saviour’s, certain requirements established by state and canon law must be met. We are here to assist you with these requirements as you prepare for your wedding. Please keep the following points in mind:

Irish State Law: Both parties must give three months’ notice to the Irish State. No marriage can occur in the Republic of Ireland without this advance notice.

Church Law: Both parties must also give three months’ notice to the Parish Priest in the parish where they reside. (Note: Parishioners of St. Saviour’s Parish should notify the Parish Priest of St. Saviour’s Parish. Please call him to arrange an appointment.) The Priest of your residential parish typically completes the pre-marriage paperwork. However, he will need the following documents beforehand:

1. Certificate of Baptism: This must be recently issued—no more than six months before the marriage ceremony.
2. Certificate of Confirmation.
3. Letters of Freedom: These should come from previous parishes where you lived since your 18th birthday.
4. Pre-Marriage Course Certificate: Proof of completion of the required pre-marriage course.

Note: If one of the parties is non-Catholic, a dispensation from the Archbishop of Dublin is necessary before the marriage can take place. The Archbishop requires six months’ notice, so please request this as early as possible. For inquiries regarding parish records and sacraments, please call (01) 889 7610 and ask to speak with the sacristan. The sacristan is available to take calls from Tuesday to Saturday, from 09:30 AM to 12:00 PM.

If you have suffered a bereavement we wish to extend our sincere sympathies to you. Please ask the undertaker you choose to arrange the funeral with the parish priest.
