The History of St, Luke The Evangelist, Mulhuddart Dublin 15.

The Parish of Mulhuddart is part of the fast growing Area of Dublin 15. Often called ‘Ladyswell’, Mulhuddart Parish was constituted from Blanchardstown Parish in 1993 with Father Leo Quinlan as Parish Priest.  In the early days of development Masses were celebrated in ‘The Canteen’ – a workers’ hut – before transfer to Saint Luke the Evangelist Church in February 1993.  With the strong support of the Area Bishop Dermot O’Mahony, Mulhuddart was constituted a Parish by Archbishop Desmond Connell on August 15th 1993. The same church was refurbished in 2005 to increase its capacity and to provide a much needed Parish Centre.

Baptism

With the help of our Baptism Team, we offer Parents support when a child is presented for the Sacrament of Baptism. Baptisms are celebrated on the Second and Last Sunday of every month at 12.45. At least two weeks notice is required.

We need parents to play their part after they have presented their child for this Sacrament, as they are the first teachers of their child in the living out of their faith. Parents are encouraged to bring their older children along to Mass on a regular basis.

 

First Communions and Confirmation

These Sacraments are usually arranged through our Parish Schools. Confirmation for the Students of 6th Class takes place in March each year. First Communion for the Students of 2nd Class is celebrated in May.
For both of these Sacraments the candidates require a Baptismal Certificate if their Baptism took place in another Parish.
The option is there for children to celebrate First Communion on a different date to their School where the Parents are attending our Church on a regular basis.
We are about to commence a new programme for the Students preparing for these Sacraments which needs the involvement of their Parents at a monthly Mass in our Church. We welcome their participation.
The reception of Adults into the Church comes after a Diocesan Programme (RCIA) has been completed.

 

Certificates

For a Baptism, Confirmation or Marriage Certificate, please call to our Church sacristy before or after Mass. You can also arrange for a Mass to be celebrated or collect a Mass Card from the Sacristy.
