Timeline

  • 1953
    Lucan becomes a separate parish Lucan became its own parish, and Balgaddy was transferred to it from Clondalkin parish, according to the Lucan South parish history page.
  • 1995
    Parish of Divine Mercy, Lucan South, established The Lucan South parish history page states the parish was established in December 1995. The Archdiocese of Dublin parish directory instead gives 1996 as the year the parish was constituted from St Mary's, Lucan; this is a conflict between sources.
