We are always delighted to welcome visitors, whether to our 11.30am service on Sunday morning or to any of our weekly activities or special events, details of which you can find by following the links provided.

Ashley Prodgers was very grateful for our donation of fruit and vegetables to The Salvation Army. The fresh fruit went to Clonard Road Family Hub, which houses families facing homelessness. The vegetables were taken to Lefroy House where young people who have been in care receive cooking lessons as part of their training in independent living.

Just before we dismantled our decorations, we had a visit from Damhnait O’Loughlin and the children in the Montessori School which uses our hall during the week. Below is a picture of the youngsters sitting on the step during their tour of the church.
