The Clonard Baptismal Font
Embedded Files
This is an image of the wonderful Baptismal Font, located in St Finnian's Church Clonard. The work of a skilled stone mason, created towards the end of the 15th century/early 16th century for use in the Parish Church in Clonard. Its a wonderfully decorated object, designed to convey visually a deep understanding of Baptism. The font is located in the sanctuary, behind the altar. You are most welcome to visit the Church and view it.
Our Clonard Font is one of approximately 40 medieval/early modern Baptismal Fonts that survive in County Meath. The now classic study of the fonts is Helen M. Roe Medieval Fonts of Meath (1968).

Volunteering to Participate in the
Work of the Parish
Volunteering is the most valuable way for you to actively participate in the Church. There is a deepening awareness throughout the Church that all of us who are committed to take our Baptism seriously and live Faithful lives do this best when we participate in our local Parish – where we can voluntarily give our time to work to further the Kingdom of God. This is what Baptism set us up to do! And it is what our Parishes are fundamentally about.
If you would like to volunteer please download a form, give its suggestions some thought and volunteer!
