Night in St John’s This year’s Culture Night event will take place on Friday, 22nd

Brendan. At 6.30pm, there will be a chance to meet some of the church organisations. At 7pm, Douglas Appleyard will lead a tour around this living church. At 8pm, there will be an opportunity to hear about other cultures that
have moulded people’s lives and for you to talk
about your culture. The evening will close with an ‘Indoor Picnic’ - bring your own little
parcel of ‘food with memories’.. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Harvest Thanksgiving Service Sunday, 1st October at 11.00 a.m. We invite you to visit us for our Harvest Thanksgiving Service when we
thank the Lord for the harvest. The church will be decorated with an
abundance of flowers, fruit and vegetables, which will be given to charitable
causes. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ May the Peace of the Lord be always with you. The Rev’d Kevin Ronné was instituted as the new Rector of our grouped
parishes of Raheny and Coolock,
by the Archbishop of Dublin on Thursday, June 1st, and he has now taken over the pastoral care
of the parish. ============================ For
up-to-date position, please refer to https://allsaintsraheny.org/preview/ ------------------------------------------------------- St John's is a Church of Ireland Church (Anglican,
Episcopalian). The parish of Coolock is grouped with
the Parish of Raheny - All Saints' Church. While both churches are welcoming places, they are both
completely different architecturally – St John’s was built as a small country
church, has 9thC artifacts, and is
associated with St Brendan and has stained glass by Burne-Jones, Child,
Purser and Meyers, while All Saints’ church is a magnificent ornate building,
erected on the corner of St Anne’s Park, thanks to the generosity of Lord
Ardilaun of the Guinness family. "telling, teaching, tending, transforming,
treasuring" |
