About Christ Church

Waterford is part of The United Dioceses of Cashel, Waterford, Lismore, Ossory, Ferns and Leighlin.

The Cathedral of The Holy Trinity, Christ Church has been a constant presence in Waterford, in one form or another, since the 11th century. Built on a site of Christian worship which dates back to 1050 and probably before, the building is steeped in history. The only neo - classical Georgian Cathedral in Ireland, it is an important part of the Church of Ireland, and is considered to be of enormous architectural importance. The Cathedral, in addition to continuing as a place of Christian worship, is now used as a venue for concerts, recitals and exhibitions adding to the cultural life of Waterford.

Very Reverend Trevor R. Lester was installed as Dean of Waterford in July 2003.

The Reverend Ruth West was ordained as Curate of the Waterford Group of Parishes in June 2009.

The Reverend Jenny Crowley is a Non-Stipendary Priest who is attached to the parish  through the hospital.  While the Dean is the hospital chaplain, Revd Jenny has the task of both visiting on a weekly basis, and of developing a sacramental ministry among the patients and staff.
