The church closed in 1966 due to a decrease in the size of the local congregation.[2] The church was de-consecrated the following year, and for a period was used by Dublin Corporation for exhibitions and concerts.[2] After a period of decline, and later of refurbishment, St. Catherine's was re-consecrated and has been the place of worship for the Anglican "CORE" church (City Outreach for Renewal and Evangelism) since then.[3]
