Father Lantom

I'm trying to figure out Father Lantom's character for a fic maybe and after rewatching all the bits of the show that he appears in I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a timeline for him. And if it is possible he knew Jack Murdock; or just of him...

From what I can figure he was in Rwanda in 1994 - though it's never explicitly said, it's definitely implied he was there during the genocide - which means he probably wasn't in Hell's Kitchen when Matt was a kid and his dad was alive. But the actor is in his seventies -born in 1943 - so it's very possible for Lantom to have been a young priest in Hell's Kitchen when Jack was a boy/growing up.

But then in one episode, when he knows Matt's name, he implies that he asked around to find out about 'Battlin' Jack Murdock' and his son, meaning that he didn't know him.

TL;DR: I wanna know if it's believable for Father Lantom to have known Jack Murdock and if anyone has any insights into Father Lantom's timeline.
