Welcome to Kilternan Parish
We are a diverse group of people of all ages, committed to building community, strengthening worship, and growing in service. Everyone is welcome as we seek to know Christ and to make him known in our community.As you visit our parish website we hope that you will find in it something that interests you. At Kilternan we believe we are building something exciting, and we hope you will be a part of that. Kilternan Parish is in the Church of Ireland Dioceses of Dublin and is part of the Anglican Community, a worldwide family or fellowship of churches. Many of our members have grown up Anglican, but many come from a broad range of traditions. In a changing Ireland, Kilternan Parish is home for a wonderful diversity of people.
The people of Kilternan have been worshipping in this building since 1826. As a church, we are both ancient and modern, ancient in that we cherish the traditions and insights of those who have gone before us, and modern in that we are always seeking to be relevant in the modern world. Kilternan is a growing church of over 300 families. As well as offering a full range of vibrant worship services and faith formation opportunities, we also provide a range of children and youth work and communities, where people of all ages can connect and grow in faith.
We recently opened the Kilternan Parish Centre and we operate a Monday-Friday outreach Café called the gathering grounds. These are exciting times at Kilternan, and we invite you to join us on this Journey with God.
Easter General Vestry, 1 September at 8:00pm
2020-09-01
The Diocesan Councils of Dublin and Glendalough had instructed the parishes of the dioceses to hold Easter General Vestries meetings between 6th August and 6th September 2020.
On the Tuesday 1 Sept at 8pm in the church there will be a short service of worship in which the Easter Vestry business will be conducted.
This year, we also have triennial elections which means that you have to elect Parochial Nominators and Diocesan Synods persons (who represent the parishes at Diocesan Synod).
While we like to encourage people to attend the Easter Vestry, social distancing will restrict us to 24 people and attendees are asked to wear a face covering. We will also plan on keeping the meeting short and will therefore keep questions and discussions to a necessary minimum. A copy of the Kilternan Annual Accounts for 2019 are available to download below
