Named for the Divine Word but run by the Servites

The church is named The Divine Word, but the Archdiocese of Dublin parish page and a local history blog both indicate it is administered by the Servite Order (OSM), not by the Divine Word Missionaries (SVD).

Stained glass with Celtic Revival imagery

A local history blog describes the stained glass panel behind the altar as the church's most striking feature, drawing on Celtic Revival artistic sensibilities.
