St John the Baptist, Blackrock.

Situated on Temple Road, Blackrock in County Dublin, this church

is an impressive 19th century construction. With a beautifully ornate

tower it seems to lift itself up from the road view. The nave draws the

eye directly to the central focus of the church which is its exceptional

altar area which has as a raised backdrop a large stained glass triple

set of windows. The baptismal font has again the eight sided design

at the top, representing eternal life, but it also has a very beautiful

carved surround. The main, but not only shrine, is a quiet place

to sit and reflect.

The church is still in practical daily use, with the mornings given over to Mass,

 some Rosary groups in some churches, and funerals. So unless I intended to

 fully attend mass I would normally keep my three Saints visits to the

afternoons, this is after the 12noon Angelus and before 3.30pm approximately.
