The Parish was constituted on 9th April 1943 from Dolphin’s Barn and Terenure. On the 9th April 2018, the actual 75th anniversary, we’ll have the usual Mass at 10am with a small celebration afterwards in the Pastoral Space. We hope our schools and other Parish Groups will be involved.
The Jubilee celebrations will extend over the following months with our main celebration being the Jubilee Mass celebrated by the Archbishop on Saturday 9th June at 6.30pm, including recognition of Outstanding Service to the Parish followed by Refreshments in the Pastoral Space. If you would like to nominate anybody you feel should be recognised publicly for significant service to the Parish please notify their name and contact details to the Parish Office stating clearly why you believe they should be honoured also identifying yourself and your relationship to the nominee.
