Légende

Opening of the New Church at the Roman Catholic University, Dublin, [Irelend], 1856. '...the requisite ritual ceremonies were performed of devoting and blessing to their holy purpose the altar and sanctuary of the church, which was opened...for the celebration, for the first time, of the sacrifice of the mass within its walls...every part of the building appropriated to the laity was thronged with a densely-crowded congregation, comprising numbers of the Roman Catholic clergy of Dublin and its vicinity...The high mass was celebrated with every accessory of splendour. The sacred music of the mass comprised selections from the grand masses of Mendelssohn and other celebrated composers...Crowds of the congregation remained for a considerable time either in prayer or admiring the proportions and arrangements of this beautiful church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
