The Church of the Incarnation at Fettercairn is a fine modern church.

Sunday/Holyday: 11:15 AM

Thursday: 11.30am (for the First Communion Class, Nov - April)

Funerals, baptisms, weddings and anniversary masses are celebrated on request through Marion at the parish office in St. Mark's (462.0777).

Saint Anne's Primary School beside the Church is one of four primary schools in the parish. There are many programmes being run in Fettercairn.

There is also a very good resource centre which provides counselling services, drug abuse rehabilitation programmes and other activities. It is available for hire through the office (452.6411)

The church also has a very good mural by local artist, Paul Ryan, which was painted for the Jubilee Year 2000. You can see some photos of the painting here. The painting depicts the history of Christianity within an Irish context. And so we are brought visually on a journey from Abraham to Jesus, from Calvary to St Stephen, to St Patrick, St Kevin, and Matt Talbot.

The church is taken care of by a number of people including Kay Delaney, Paula Byrne, May Cowen, Sr Brenda, Sr. Veronica, and a team of helpers. Without their support and interest it would not be possible to do all that is done in the church in Fettercairn.

On the 19th May 2001, a beautiful Naming Stone was blessed by Bishop Eamonn Walsh and it now stands in the grounds of the church. The Stone depicts an icon of Our Blessed Lady with the Child Jesus. The cross was fabricated by John Hyland (Kilcarrig), the Mosaic Artist was Laura O Hagan (Architectural Ceramics Bray) and the Garden around it was designed by Peter Kane (Kilcarrig), Bernard Delaney (Drumcairn) and Tony Esmond (Kilmartin). The granite stone was presented by Stone Developments (Balleybrew Enniskerry) and the stone mason was John Dunne (Greenhills).
