Kilnamanagh-Castleview Parish 2.47

Our Parish has two places of worship. St.Kevin's Church in Kilnamanagh and St Kilian's Church in Castleview.

St.Kevin's was built in 1978 and St.Kilian's three years later in 1981. The Late 1970's and early 80s was a time of burgeoning development in Dublin and many new communities were established during those years.

The Parish of Kilnamanagh-Castleview was officially constituted by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin in 2008. It was constituted from two formerly seperate Parishes St.Kevins, Kilnamanagh and St.Kilian's,Castleview. Both these parishes were small communities by Dublin standards and the amalgamation now forms one Parish with some 3,200 homes or 13,200 people according to census figures.

The Luas line runs through the middle of the Parish and passengers coming from the Centre City should alight at the KINGSWOOD station, both churches are within a 10 minute walk from the stop.
