Leaving the cathedral grounds it is just a short walk to St Brigid's Roman Catholic Parish Church, built in 1833. The main doors of the church, designed by artist Imogen Stuart, consists of six bronze panels, each having a raised St Brigid's cross with an inset of blue, green and white mosaic. A unique feature of the doors is the handles, hands opening outwards in a welcoming and hospitable gesture. You are now invited to enter into this sacred place.
