The Coffee Run

Almost every school day of the year between 8.30am and 9.30am you’ll find 5 to 30+ parents popping in for a coffee especially on Fridays. If you’re new to the area pop in for a coffee and chat to meet neighbours and fellow parents in the community.  

Kilternan Parish Tennis Club

Tennis has been played in Kilternan Parish for 3 generations. Members enjoy the friendly atmosphere and excellent court facilities which the club offers. The 3 artificial grass courts may be used at any time up to 10 p.m. except during church services. Club play is on Monday mornings (ladies) and Tuesday evenings with social tennis each month. Members also play in various leagues organised by the Dublin Lawn Tennis Council, as well as in the local Ladies’ Charity League. Club championships are held in the autumn and there are various social events through the year. While there are currently no club activities solely for children, junior members may play with their parents or take part in after-school coaching.

Membership is open to individual members or families and further information is available from the KPLTC Hon. Secretary Gillian Fleming on 087 901 2957 or email kilternanparishltc@gmail.com.

Kilternan Men 

Kilternan’s 40+somethings dads can often be found sipping coffee in the Gathering Grounds each morning from 8.30am to 9.15am doing the school Coffee Run but also meet most months in the Step Inn or The Golden Ball for a pint and catch-up.  When not engaging in their favourite pastime they also actively volunteering with our social ministries in the parish, and helping and hosting events for the kids and youth groups, as well as with some of the heavy lifting at our parish events and parish clean-up days.
