Church of the Most Holy Redeemer beside Clonard Monastery

Описание: ( Nov 13thand I have just had a post from Joe yodel. Joe tells me that this is not Clonard Monastery. This is the church that sits beside Clnard. It is the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer. Most people like me make the mistake of calling it Clonard Church. He says that the monastery is the brick building on the right side of the church. It dates from 1875 and the church was built in 1911. I think Joe knows a lot better than I do. So thanks for that info. Joe. and sorry for my mistake )
Clonard Monastery is not to be confused with St Peter's Cathedral which is found closer to town down the Falls! I got the two churches mixed up and have had to redo this video. Ooops!
( Imagine me an 'ole Prod' getting confused like that! )
Clonard Monastery is a Roman Catholic church and monastery, located off the Falls Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The complex was developed by the Catholic Redemptorists religious order. Members of this religious order came to Belfast originally in 1896. They initially built a small tin church in the grounds of Clonard House in 1897. In 1890 a monastery was opened in these grounds and in 1911 the Church of the Holy Redeemer opened in the grounds and replaced the tin church.
Clonard is also used as a music venue for many festivals in the city, most notably Féile an Phobail and holds an annual Novena which attracts over 100,000 tourists, Catholic and Protestant, from Ireland and Europe every year.
