************************

Our usual services continue in St John’s at 11.00am each Sunday.

 

Are you coming to join with us on

Easter Sunday at 11.00am for Holy Communion? Easter is one of the most important days in the Church’s calendar.

 

The church is being decorated with flowers on Saturday morning – so it should be looking good for our Easter celebration.

 

All are welcome to join us.

Covid rules apply.

 

Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you,

That you love one another;

even as I have loved you, that you also love one another”.

 

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

 

At this time of a vacancy when we have no Rector, we are pleased to say that our services are continuing week by week thanks to the dedication of a team of people. Our Rural Dean, Canon Leslie Robinson, has overall care of the parish until a new rector is instituted. We thank Canon Robert Deane and the Rev’d John Marchant for leading our worship up to this point. The Archbishop has appointed the Rev’d Tom O’Brien to provide pastoral care during the remainder of the vacancy. We continue to be ably served by our newly commissioned lay-reader, Lynn Adams. And of course, the services would not be complete without Sylvia on our organ. Thank you all.

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.
