St.Mary's Pro-Cathedral
Visitors to the church frequently ask why it is called a Pro-Cathedral. It came to be known as such in the 1880s and it was Dr Walsh [Archbishop of Dublin from 1885 to 1921] who confirmed the use of that title. St Laurence O'Toole, second Archbishop of Dublin, rebuilt and enlarged Christ Church and it was constituted by the Pope at the time as the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. In the seven centuries that have elapsed since then no successor of St Laurence has asked for that decision to be revoked. Until that happens, St Mary's will continue as the mother church, but without the full title of 'cathedral' of Dublin
