Cathedral Feature: RTÉ Documentary The Last Irish Missionaries

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral was recently featured in Episode 2 of RTÉ’s acclaimed documentary series The Last Irish Missionaries, which follows veteran Irish priests who have dedicated their lives to mission work overseas. The episode, now available on RTÉ Player, is presented by respected journalists Dearbhail McDonald and Bryan Dobson.

In this powerful instalment, the presenters travel to Kenya and the Philippines to meet Irish missionaries still actively serving communities despite being in their 80s. Their stories are deeply moving, offering a profound look at a lifetime of selfless service, faith, and cultural exchange.

The inclusion of Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in the program connects these global efforts back to Ireland’s spiritual heart. As one of the country’s most iconic religious and cultural landmarks, the Cathedral stands as a symbol of the enduring legacy of Irish faith and the international reach of its missionary tradition.

The Cathedral was honored to be featured as part of this tribute to Ireland’s missionary history and encourages all who are interested in this powerful story of dedication and compassion to view the episode.
