St. Paul's Church is a former Catholic church, now used by a group of young Catholics and the Jacobite Syrian Christian Church. The church was built between 1835 and 1837 according to the plans of Patrick Byrne, who also designed the nearby St. Audoen Catholic Church and the Church of the Immaculate Conception (Adam and Eve's) on the Merchant's Quay.

Church Street

St. Mary of the Angels Church, or "Church Street", is a Capuchin church dating from the late 19th century. The Capuchin friars first arrived in Dublin in 1615, but it was not until 1624 that the first convent was established in Bridge Street. They arrived in Church Street in 1690, shortly after the Battle of the Boyne and opened a mass house on the site of the present church. The mass house was enlarged in 1796. The present church dates from 1881 and was designed by James J. McCarthy.

St. Audoen's Church

St Audoen's Church, founded in 1190, is located in Dublin's Old Town. It is the oldest parish church in use in Dublin, a rare example of medieval architecture in Dublin. In 1825 the church building was in a state of ruin, parts of the church were closed or roofless. The architect Thomas Drew was the first to draw serious attention to the architectural and historical importance of the church in 1866. In 1826, the seventeenth-century tower was remodelled by Henry Aaron Baker, but it was not until the major restoration in 1982 that the tower was secured. A Catholic church of the same name is located next door.
