Sunday Evening Services starting 2nd November

Our long awaited Sunday evening services will commence on Sunday 2nd November at 7pm in the church.

These services will consist of a more modern liturgy and contemporary worship songs led by Eric Hughes, youth worker at Adelaide Road Presbyterian Church. These services are open to all but may particularly suit teenagers and young adults who are searching for an alternative to more traditional Sunday morning worship.

We pray that this initiative will be blessed by our Father God, and in turn be a blessing to all who come.

Celebrate Parish Life at Back to Church Sunday – 21st September

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.
