At present there is only one priest of the Irish Dominican province resident in Lisbon, Portugal. Based in the Estoril region of the city, he is the parish priest a large English-speaking community, and has care of two churches in the area. He is also involved with schools and school management.

There has been a long association between the friars of the Irish province who were once based in the beautiful church of Corpo Santo, in the middle of the city, with the Irish Dominican sisters based in the nearby convent of Bom Successo. The chaplaincy to these Sisters is still in the care of the Irish Dominican friar assigned to Lisbon.

Irish Dominicans have been serving in Lisbon since the 17th century. Many of the friars of the province have a great affection for this place and they stand in for the parish priest when he is away, or assist him when there is a special need.
