Did You Know?

Music has been a feature of worship and life at Saint Mary’s Cathedral for hundreds of years!

The first recorded organ in the Cathedral dates back to 1624, while the College of Lay Vicars can trace its origins even further, to the 1420s. Music has long been an integral part of our worship, enriching our services and bringing the Cathedral to life.

But music here extends beyond our services. It also plays an important part in our wider cultural life, with events such as our popular Lunchtime Concerts welcoming musicians and audiences through our doors.

Amongst the treasures preserved in our Cathedral archives is this fascinating baton. Made from oak taken from the Cathedral roof, it was presented by the choir to a former Cathedral Organist, Mr F. Brislane, in 1921.

A small object, perhaps, but one that tells a wonderful story of the longstanding musical tradition, fellowship and community that continue to be part of life at Saint Mary’s.

🚀Today, our senior classes took part in a fascinating space webinar with Professor Lorraine Hanlon from UCD, learning all about satellites and how they help us explore space. There was great interest and lots of fantastic questions from our pupils! 🌍🔭#ScienceWeek
