Holy Cross Priory is one of the smaller communities of Dominicans in Ireland. The priory, or “friary” as it is known by the local people, is situated in the centre of Sligo town and much of the preaching of the friars is done in the priory or in the priory church.

Holy Cross is the only church run by religious in the diocese of Elphin. Along with preaching and daily Masses, particular emphasis is placed on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. A confessor is available throughout the whole day.

Many groups meet in the friary. Novenas during the year draws large crowds from the town and surrounding countryside. The community in Sligo is marked by service to the local church through preaching and prayer.
