Detail InformationEdit

Saint Francis Xavier Church, popularly known as Gardiner Street Church, is a Roman Catholic Church on Upper Gardiner Street, near Mountjoy Square. The church is run by the Jesuits.
Designed by Father Bartholomew Esmonde SJ and erected by the architect Joseph B. Keane as a Classical cut granite stone essay, the first stone was laid on 2nd July 1829, the year of Catholic Emancipation. The church was opened on 3rd May 1832. Architectural critic Christine Casey describes it in her book, “Dublin”, as “the most elegant church of the period in Dublin”.
The building is known for its collection, sculpted altar piece, and paintings, mostly Italian in origin and dating from the Victorian period. The design of St Francis Xavier Church reflects the depth of Father B. Esmonde’s knowledge of the temples of Italy acquired during his long residency there. The church features in James Joyce’s short story “Grace” from Dubliners.
