Previous Priests

The first priests to serve the parish were diocesan priests. The Parish was known initially as Upper Walkinstown and Cannon Flood was the parish priest. Two curates Fr Oliver Hanratty, C.C. and Fr Patrick Breslin, C.C. looked after the new church and the spiritual needs of the newly formed parish. The parish was handed over to the Holy Ghost Fathers, who came in October 1971.
