The Church was consecrated on the 21st September in 1760 by the then, Lord Archbishop of Dublin, Most Reverend Charles Cobb D.D. and it was given the name of St. John the Evangelist.
At that time it served a small rural community, however 240 years later, the area has seen dramatic changes and particuliarly over the last 20 years, with a massive Urban Developement Programme and a huge inward growth of new parishioners.
Some famous Irish people from and or associated with the area, from the past include, the following:
Arthur Guinness from Beaumont House, Catherine MacAuley (Founder of the Sisters of Mercy), St. Brendan, Henry Grattan and Francis Caulfield (Second Earl of Charlemont).
