Clontarf Parish, Church of St John the Baptist
Seafield Road West, Clontarf, Dublin 3 – a parish in the Anglican Communion
Clontarf Autumn Fair takes place in the Parish Centre and grounds on 28th September.
The fun starts at 2pm and we’ll have bouncy castles, our legendary cake stall, monster slides, vintage cars and motorbikes, bbq, books stall, and lots more. We’ll have fun sports and prizes for all ages and admission is only €2 for adults and €1 for children – all proceeds go to Parish funds.
That’s 2pm to 5pm on 28th September in the Parish Centre and grounds on Seafield Road West.
We have a great parish here in Clontarf and we plan to celebrate this on Sunday 21st September, the weekend which coincides with the first anniversary of the Institution of Revd Lesley as our Rector.
There will be a service of worship at 10.30am as usual followed by a social tea / coffee / biscuit and a display of opportunities for activities on offer to parishioners. Please make an extra effort to come along and also invite a friend/relative/neighbour to come with you. A warm welcome is assured!
Regular church attendance strengthens us personally and builds up the life of our community – it’s a great habit to be in but an easy habit to get out of. This is a great opportunity to get back into the habit, especially if you haven’t been for a while
