Reviews of Church of the Good Shepherd

V. G.

The Church of the Good Shepherd is located at the junction of Nutgrove Avenue and Oakdown Road. It is an imposing red roofed building with a seven arched porch fronting the main entrance. The church has a seating capacity of 1,100. Prior to Catholic Emancipation the very sparsely populated area of Churchtown formed part of three quite remote parishes – Donnybrook, Booterstown and Kilgobbin. Later, however, as more churches were built and new parishes established, the Churchtown district formed part of the parishes of Dundrum and Rathfarnham. In the mid 1950s the population had risen to the point where a parish of its own was clearly needed for Churchtown. In 1957 the newly completed Church of the Good Shepherd was consecrated. In 1965 it gained full status as the centrepiece of an independent Parish. When built in 1957 the new Church was sited on the edge of fields and sprawling farmlands. Some of the best materials then on the building market were used in its construction and the total cost of the new building was £59,000. Refurbisment work was undertaken in 2014 at a cost of €1.5m. In 1971 it was the site of the state funeral of former Taoiseach Seán Lemass, who lived on Hillside Drive Mass Times Mon to Fri 10.00 am Saturday: 10.00 am 7.15 pm (vigil) Sunday 10.00 am 12.00 noon
