The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is a center of prayer, adoration, and reconciliation located in the heart of Dublin. As part of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament (SSS), we are an apostolic religious community dedicated to living the Eucharistic Mystery to its fullest and making its significance clear to the world.
Designed by architect Paul Clinton, the Chapel is crafted to create an atmosphere of celebration and adoration. The design is intentionally simple so that every eye is drawn toward the central features:
The Congregation was founded in 1856 in Paris by Saint Pierre-Julien Eymard (1811–1868), known as the “Apostle of the Eucharist”. St. Eymard discovered the Eucharist as the ultimate answer to the needs of his time and dedicated his life to making Christ in the Eucharist better known and loved. He was canonized by Pope John XXIII in 1962.
Inspired by the charism of St. Peter Julian Eymard, the Blessed Sacrament Chapel is more than a place of worship; it is a sanctuary for the weary and a center for Eucharistic life. We invite you to step away from the city’s hustle and bustle to find spiritual renewal through our various liturgical and pastoral services.
Find peace and forgiveness in our dedicated reconciliation area, guided by the compassion of the Gospel.
Experience the transformative power of the "Bread of Life" through daily liturgy and quiet contemplation.

For over 50 years, the Blessed Sacrament Chapel has been a sanctuary for workers, tourists, and seekers in Dublin. Here is what our community experiences within these walls.
"The Reconciliation Area, with its mosaic of the Prodigal Son, is so welcoming. It removed the fear I had about coming back to the Church. I left feeling a sense of forgiveness and joy that I hadn't felt in years. This truly is a place of healing."
"I was drawn in by the history of Bachelors Walk, but I stayed for the beauty of the Chapel. The way the light breaks through the blue-stained glass is breathtaking. It feels like a hidden gem of Dublin, a place where history and modern faith meet perfectly."
"I came here searching for meaning during a difficult time in my life. The priests here don't just offer Mass; they offer a listening ear and genuine guidance. Through the 'Life in the Eucharist' program, I’ve moved from being a stranger to a fully integrated member of this beautiful community."
"In the middle of a hectic workday in Dublin, the Chapel is my 'Oasis of Peace.' Stepping off the busy quays into the silence of the Blessed Sacrament is like entering another world. It is the one place where I can truly find the stillness needed to reflect and pray."
"As a visitor to Dublin, I was moved to find such a sacred space right on the Liffey. Knowing that this very site on Bachelors Walk has seen so much of Ireland’s history, from the 17th century to the struggle for independence, makes the peace inside feel even more profound. It is a beautiful experience to see the light from the George Walsh windows and realize that the same Eucharistic mission I know from home is alive and well in the heart of this city."
