Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

St Marys Church is calm and peaceful in the center of Belfast. It's free so just drop in and take some pictures if in the area.

We were informed by a friend whom we met in Belfast that this church had a mass as Gaeilge on Sunday so we decided to attend. It took us 20 mins to walk there from Hope St. that was via the main street, if we had gone side streets it would have been 10 mins. The church was large, standard of Irish of the celebrant excellent, and we met some lovely parishioners after mass who invited us for a cup of tea in a pub across the road from the Castle Court mall

went here for the 6pm mass on the eve of St. Patrick's Day. Lovely old church on Chapel Lane with a grotto outside that was built in the 50's that is open during the day (grotto) to visitors. There is an information board outside the church that gives some background history. Original building built in the mid to late 1700's, church completed in the 1800s and the grotto built in the 1950's. Built due to the need, as before this time mass was celebrated in a farm field. Part of the pulpit that was set up in the farmfield is still inside the church. Mass celebrated twice a day but you can also just go inside to look around, or light a prayer candle, or sit quietly to pray and reflect. It sits just a few yards from the entrance to Castle Court Shopping centre, as well as across the lane from an old pub with outdoor seating/beer garden.

Happened to pass here when the 6pm mass was starting on a saturday night. Popped in, and was impressed that the building was quite beautiful, and not over adorned. For such a traditional church, it was good to see a real community here. I certainly felt quite touched when I left.

I found this church by accident while on my way to Castle Court using the small and less traveled roads. It has a nice and peaceful interior. Worth a visit to have a short moment to reflect and be introspective.

Is it true that there is a Sunday mass in Gaelic? Is it a safe area to walk in alone on a Sunday morning?

No idea about the Gaelic mass but it would be a very quiet area to walk around on a Sunday morning depending on times as the city centre shops are only able to sell from 1pm on a Sunday so the centre is quiet before then. When I mean quiet I mean no one about which isn’t always a good thing. Having said that, if there is a Mass on and it’s summer then it would obviously be busier around the Chapel streets.

looks like it is a half mile/approx. 9 min walk. Here are the directions I copy/posted from google maps for walking directions. Hope it helps. it's a nice old church with lots of history and is in the center of town. Nice outdoor beergarten directly out the door, and down the lane from Castle st. mall
