Holy Cross
at the heart of Tralee
We are a community of Dominicans and part of the Irish Province of the Order of Preachers (The Dominican Order). Our life revolves around prayer and bringing others into a relationship with Jesus Christ. In light of this, our journey of faith with the people of Tralee has remained almost unchanged since the day we arrived here almost 800 years ago, in 1243.
