Located in two buildings at the heart of the city, DCM is the second oldest City Mission in the world.

While the Mission's history  has included many different Christian and social action programming (including having been a medical mission) we now focus on homeless ministry on Pearse Street (The Light House), as well as Youth and Community Work in three disadvantaged communities around Dublin: the Markets Area, Drimnagh and Ballyfermot.

It is our hope to see people find freedom and healing, then for them to show others in their community how to find freedom and healing. These are communities that have traditionally been in poverty, have high rates of drug abuse, broken homes, abuse, teenage pregnancy, and crime yet they are communities of people with such incredible potential that our service remains an essential link to freedom.
