Beyond Belief - Sunday 25th October 2026

Stephen Fletcher presents this Beyond Belief for Sunday 25th October 2026. As County Clare is home to some of Ireland’s finest stained glass art, including remarkable windows by the Harry Clarke Studios. Few people know that story better than John Glynn of Kilrush, a researcher who has spent years documenting stained glass across the county — including the stunning Clarke windows in St Senan’s Church in Kilrush. John talks to Stephen about his research which spans more than 140 sites across the county and includes extensive archival work in Clare, Galway, Dublin, and Limerick. We also look at the history of the Halloween elecbrations we anjoy today. Mary Finucane gives us another of her reflections and Fr Gerry Kenny joins Stephen as they discuss what is happening in their parishes.
