Mary Immaculate, Refuge of Sinners is a Roman Catholic church in Rathmines, Dublin built in 1854 in the "Greek style".[2] The church was originally designed by Patrick Byrne and later extended by William Henry Byrne who added a portico and pediment.[2]
The church was destroyed in January 1920 by a fire but was rebuilt and reopened by 1922.[2]
It is mentioned as "Rathmines' blue dome" in Ulysses.[3]
Two characters in Sally Rooney's 2021 novel Beautiful World, Where Are You attend Mass in the church.[4]
