Clonard monastery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clonard Monastery is the term used to describe the Catholic church and monastery that is located near the Falls Road in Belfast.
The complex was developed by a Catholic religious order known as the Redemptorist. 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. Finally, in 1911 the Church of the Holy Redeemer opened in the grounds and replaced the tin church.
