St Joseph's, Glasthule Road, Glasthule, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin.

 

 

 

The front facade of St Joseph’s Glasthule/Sandycove is a beautiful if somewhat

imposing structure, with one of its main features being a 100year old rose window

in need of some refurbishment, which is not surprising after one hundred years.

Its entrance is from Glasthule Road with Summerhill Road to its north toward the Peoples Park,

and Sandycove Road to the south leading towards Dalkey.

Also to the north of the church toward Summerhill Road is the Glasthule/Sandycove Dart station

which is about a two or three minute walk from the church gates.

 

Parking to the front of the church is limited but there is paid parking close by

across Glasthule Road. Building of the church itself started during the 1860s and

was completed in 1869. There is an excellent parish/pastoral centre to the side

and rear of the church.

 

 

 

St Joseph was the husband of Mary the mother of Jesus. He was a woodworker

or carpenter by profession and was carer and guardian to Jesus. He is the patron

of the Universal Church and also patron Saint to families, fathers, workers as well as others.

There are two feast days celebrated for St Joseph the first is on March 19^th for Joseph the husband of Mary,

and the second is celebrated on May 1^st for St Joseph the Worker.
