Sligo Cathedral to re-open at the end of June

As part of ongoing renovation works, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Sligo, closed after Mass on Monday 6th January 2025, the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord. We are delighted to announce that the Cathedral will re-open on Sunday 29th June, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul with an official opening on Sunday 6th July 2025.

Work has been underway for some time to repair the roof and to renew the pointing of the stonework on the Cathedral. Now that the walls have had time to dry out, the interior surfaces, which were badly affected by damp, are about to be cleaned and repainted.

Liturgies for the duration of the closure will be celebrated in Nazareth Chapel, Church Hill, Sligo (F91 DD72). The Jubilee Year Cross will move temporarily to St Anne’s Church, Sligo (F91 R250). The Adoration Chapel at the Cathedral will remain open during this time and the Cathedral car park will be operational.

With thanks to all involved in these renovation works at our Cathedral.
