United Dioceses of Dublin & Glendalough

Dublin & Glendalough 800 is the celebration of our two dioceses’ eight centuries together. The dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough were officially united in 1216 and throughout 2016 and 2017 a series of events has been taking place to mark this milestone anniversary.

The celebrations have sought to bring together a range of strands of diocesan life from history and education, to music and singing. Children from diocesan schools were involved in the launch and the celebrations have also included visitors from dioceses overseas to which Dublin & Glendalough have strong links.
