St. Stephen's
Killiney County Dublin
Who we are
St. Stephen's RC church in Killiney, Co. Dublin, is a chapel of ease to Ballybrack parish church. It opened in 1984. Imogen Stuart, to whom I have referred elsewhere, was the artist in residence and she has done a beautiful job. The interior is peaceful and tranquil and, above all, simple. The approach and the small outside garden with its mini-cloisters add to the impression of monastic serenity.
It is all on a relatively small scale, tucked away as it is, on the Killiney Hill road opposite the main entrance to the park. It is a real oasis of tranquility in today's rush-rush world.
Unfortunately, due to current staffing difficulties in the Roman Catholic church, it can also be a mirage at times. The first time I went there it was closed. So I made sure to turn up for my second visit on a Sunday morning. I expected to have some difficulty parking but subsequently found out that there is only one mass on a Sunday at 9am. I met a man there but I'd say he and I were the only visitors between mass and closing time on that day.

Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
