Parish of Clontarf (St. Anthony's)
- Parish of Clontarf (St. Anthony's)
The Roman Catholic "Parish of Clontarf (St. Anthony's)" was formed in 1966, by separation from the historic Parish of Clontarf. It is served by a Church of St. Anthony of Padua, built in 1975, which succeeded the older Church of St. Anthony (a former chapel-of-ease) lying between it and the sea. This older church was previously Clontarf Town Hall, during the brief period when the district was incorporated as a town, under the control of local Commissioners, primarily larger landowners and businessmen, and is a protected structure.
The parish takes in the part of Clontarf from the junction of Howth Road with Clontarf Road, passing south of the Parish of Killester, and then splitting the district along the line of Castle Avenue. This area includes the Garda station, a secondary retail area and localities such as Seafield.
Within the parish bounds was once a holy well, named for either St. Philip or St. Dennis. Located in the vicinity of The Stiles Road, this well is no longer visible.
