St. John's Catholic Church, Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland
I visited St. John's Parish in September 2013.
In 1854 the foundation stone of St. John's Church was laid on the site of a chapel dating back to 1780. Some artifacts of the 1780 chapel have survived - the Holy Water font, Our Lady of the Wayside statue, and the gables of the 18th century building, which are contained in the transepts of the present church. The building was completed, in 1861 with the erection of the Great Sanctuary window. In 1870 the tower and spire were added. The height of the spire is 200 feet.

RTE 'Nationwide' Feature on the Reconciliation Window, St John's Tralee
Documentary, directed by RTE's Niall Martin, on the creation of a new stained glass window by artist Tom Denny on the theme of Reconciliation in the Church of St. John the Baptist, Tralee, Co. Kerry. The installation of the Reconciliation Window marked the 800th anniversary of the founding of Tralee (c. 1216 AD) and is a joint endeavour by Tralee's Catholic and Church of Ireland parish communities. Tom Denny is a member of the Dennys of Tralee Castle family who has executed stained glass works in some of Britain's great Anglican Cathedrals and churches.
The new Window of Reconciliation has three panels, or 'lights'; the central themes are reconciliation, healing and renewal.
In the central light is the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) or more appropriately the Loving Father. To the right is Jesus reading from from the Book of Isaiah; ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me...' (Luke 4) and, to the left, Saint John the Baptist, patron of the parish, sets forth, ‘filled with the Holy Spirit’ not only to ‘bear witness to the Light’ but also to ‘reconcile father and child’ (Luke 1). St. John's Church is a treasure trove of Church Art with stained glass by Michael O'Connor, Earley Brothers, Richard King and Patrick Pollen, 'Stations of the Cross' by Seán Keating, RHA, Mosaics by Earleys, Oppenheimer, Verso and Irish Mosaics, and sculptures by Gabriel Hayes O'Riordan. It was designed by J. J. McCarthy (1817-77) and extensively restored and extended over the period 1950-60. The new Reconciliation Window is the first stained glass window to be installed in St. John's in over sixty years. It was blessed on Friday 27th October 2017.
