It will be a Christmas Jumper Night with donations being sought for Focus Ireland – put the date in your diary and join the fun for a good cause.

(You don’t have to join the quiz to donate, and you don’t have to donate to join the quiz!)

Clontarf Parish Christmas Services bookings

NB Limited places left in all services except for Christmas Day @ 8.30 which has lots of availability.

As strange as it sounds, places will need to be booked for our four Christmas services this year: 3pm & 11pm on Christmas Eve and 8.30am & 10.30am on Christmas Day.

Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and we will put a waiting list in place if necessary. In order to do this, click the link to your preferred service time (below) and add in the names of your family members individually on separate lines.

If you have any trouble with this please contact the Rector directly. Please only book for one service, and if your plans change and you cannot avail of your place, please let me know in advance.

All services will be available to view on our website and later on Facebook, so no-one has to miss out.

Thank you for your cooperation in these extraordinary challenging times.

Prayers needed for Family Service on 27th September

Although we can’t welcome people to worship in person in our beautiful church at present, we can still certainly worship together thanks to the wonders of modern technology.

This Sunday (27th September), being the fourth Sunday of the month, will be a pre-recorded Family Service, and we are looking for children to write a prayer, record it in landscape mode and send it to the Rector via WhatsApp if possible to 087 9091561 by Thursday evening at the latest.

Please encourage your children to take part – their prayers are a blessing to us all.
