History
Santa Lucía is in the Diocese of San José de Costa Rica within the Metropolitan Archdiocese of San José de Costa Rica. Administratively it is part of the canton of Goicoechea and province of San José.

The Diocese of San José de Costa Rica was erected on 28 February 1850 from the Diocese of Nicaragua. Records kept at the parish level likely stayed within the parish, but records made before 1850 may be housed in another archive depending on how they decided to keep the records.
