Situated on the edge of the busiest part of Cork city, across the river Lee from Cork Opera House, St Mary’s priory and church form a pair of instantly recognisable buildings.

This central location permits the Dominican friars to be preachers of the Gospel in the city. The brethren assigned here have varied ministries which include hospital chaplaincy, the preaching of retreats and missions, writing of books, preaching through the medium of the internet as well as a busy sacramental schedule.

The community also has a Pastoral Centre where courses in spirituality are undertaken. Many related groups in the city also use its facilities. Spiritual direction and counselling services are also provided here.
