St Eugene's Cathedral
The area which was the old confessional rooms since 1989 were converted into a new side chapel dedicated to Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta. The new chapel was blessed and dedicated by the Bishop of Derry, Donal McKeown, during the cathedral parish's annual nine day Novena to Saint Therese of Lisuex. On Friday 12 May 2017 at a special prayer service at 7.30pm in the cathedral, parishioners and clergy were joined by nuns from Mother Teresa's order, who joined the packed congregation in the cathedral for Evening Prayer and a special dedication ceremony for the new chapel. Today the chapel is used by prayer groups, and it is also used for daily Eucharistic Adoration from 8.30am-10.00am Mondays to Fridays.
