St Joseph the Artisan church A Dublin parish is excited for the re-opening of their church, especially since it has been announced they will be given the altar and ambo used for the papal Mass during the World Meeting of Families last summer.
St Joseph the Artisan church, in Bonnybrook parish, will welcome Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin on March 9 to celebrate Mass.
Archbishop Martin will be there to mark the opening of the church which underwent major renovation to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of the parish.
The altar and ambo were both used by Pope Francis during Mass in the Phoenix Park in Dublin last August.
