Priory of St. Dominic, Athy, Co. Kildare

St Dominic’s Priory, situated on the banks of the River Barrow in the centre of Athy, is home to a medium sized community of Dominican friars in what is becoming a satellite town of Dublin.

The traditional church apostolate of liturgical preaching and sacramental ministry is combined by the members of the community with chaplaincy work locally, ecumenical dialogue and the preaching of retreats.

The community in Athy facilitates a lively Dominican laity movement, whose members meet regularly and have a local missionary outreach.
