st .Nicholas Parish Church (Green Church)
The Old Dundalk Society contribution to the 2024 Heritage Week will focus on the history of our local communities through trade, exploration and migration that have shaped communities over time.
This year’s heritage theme will be developed in the St Nicholas Quarter of the town, with a visit to St. Nicholas Parish Church (Green Church) originally built circa 1400 A.D. and also a visit to the Church of St. Nicholas built in 1859 (part of St. Patrick’s Cathedral Parish).
The tour will take place on Wednesday 21st of August assembling at St Nicholas Parish Church (Green Church) at 6.30pm sharp.
Mr Trevor Patterson (Select Vestry) will deliver a presentation on the history of the church and its involvement with local communities.
After the lecture the tour will leave the precincts of the Church and will proceed along Church Street towards the Church of St. Nicholas stopping on the way for a musical interlude, with music by members of the wonderful Ukulele band the ‘Yew Tree Ukus’.
After the foot taping musical entertainment, people will proceed to the Church of St. Nicholas arriving at 7.30 pm, entering the Church they will be greeted by the sound of traditional Irish music played by ‘Cuchulainn CCE Junior Traditional Band’.
Fr. Michael Murtagh will then present a lecture on the History of the Church and its relevance within the local community and reference the Oliver Plunkett connection to the St Nicholas Quarter of the town.
The event will conclude at 8.30pm approximately. Everyone welcome to attend this free event.
