WHEN I WAS YOUNG I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DONORS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This unusual church is situated beside the Tolka River at the junction of Glasnevin Hill and Botanic Avenue which is near the entrance to the Botanic Gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was young we, as a family, visited this church every so often for Sunday mass and until I visited a few year ago I thought that that it was the Lady Of Donors Church so I was a bit surprised when I discovered the it is the Lady Of Dolours Church [apparently dolours means poetic grief or sorrow]. I should explain that my father constantly complained that they were always seeking donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
