Welcome to our new website for St. Teresa’s Church, Clarendon Street, Dublin. We have exciting plans for this site and we encourage you to check back regularly. Here is a brief introduction from Fr. Jim Noonan, OCD. who is a Discalced Carmelite and Prior at St Teresa’s Church.
We have so much happening this year, that we wanted to give you a glimpse of some of what we have planned.
Contemplative Weekend Retreat
Running from September 2021 to November 2021
This series of weekend retreats will help us to be attentive to God’s loving presence in our life and in our prayer as we contemplatively see, listen and read.
Living Prayer Course
September 2021 to May 2022
The new nine-month Prayer Course enables one to practise contemplative living according to one’s own lifestyle.
School of Prayer – Level II
Starting September 2021
The School of Prayer is intended for those who realise the importance of prayer in their lives and are seeking a deeper relationship with God and support and encouragement in their search. Participants will be invited to take an active part in spiritual conversation, workshops and small group sharing. It will offer the opportunity to be nourished by the rich treasures of Christian prayer with particular reference to the Carmelite tradition – and at the same time to explore their own prayer journey and share this experience with others.
Voices from the Great Tradition
Running from 11 October 2021 to 20 December 2021
In this series of online talks, we reflect on the teachings of several remarkable ancient, medieval, and modern spiritual masters. These figures are bright lights on the horizon of our two-thousand year treasury of Christian wisdom.

“Christ has no body now on earth but yours,
no hands but yours, no feet but yours,
Yours are the eyes through which is to look out Christ’s compassion to the world;
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good;
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless men now.”
