Newry Cathedral sits on Hill Street, its slender twin granite spires visible from much of the town. The interior is bright with Italian marble, an elaborate high altar, and a complete set of Harry Clarke stained glass windows in the side chapels — easily the best reason to spend half an hour inside.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Dromore is based here. The cathedral is open daily; volunteers and clergy are often happy to talk about the building. Mass is held regularly, including a Saturday vigil.
