The Augustinians in Limerick
"One Heart, One Mind on Our Way to God"
 |
The crest of the worldwide Augustinian
Order depicts a heart on fire, pierced with an arrow. This shows
the passionate restless heart of St. Augustine, a heart that is
open to the pain and joy of loving and the extension of God’s
love into the mission and ministry of Augustinian priests,
brothers, sisters and their lay friends. The open book in the
crest represents the Bible which was the inspiration of St.
Augustine’s life. |
| Throughout history, the shape and form of the crest
has evolved from the more ornate presentation to simpler modern
reproductions. Apart from the common symbols of the heart
aflame, the piercing arrow and the book, other historical
elements include a cincture, a bishop’s crosier and mitre, a
banner with the Latin words "Tolle Lege", Take
up and Read. |

 |
The present day Augustinian church is situated on O'Connell
Street in the centre of the city. On the right as you enter the
church is the original
lintel
stone that came from the order's first chapel in
Limerick at Fish Lane. The date 1633 is on the stone, the letters I.H.S. and the symbol of the heart from
the crest of the Augustinian order.
More History... |
| Above the main door of the church on O'Connell St., a large stained
glass window depicts scenes from the life of St Augustine. The window
shows (from left to right) his conversion, his consecration as a Bishop,
writing his confessions and the Transfiguring Experience with his mother
Monica. The window is dedicated to the memory of Fr Joseph Hennessey who
was the main driving force behind the building of the church.

Above
the four main sections of the stained glass windows, are the symbols of
the four Evangelists of the four Gospels which are (from left to right)
the bull (Luke), the man (Matthew), the eagle (John) and the lion
(Mark). Under the main stained glass sections of the window are smaller
sections depicting a book and quill, the Sacred Heart, the crest of the
Augustinian order, and the scales of justice...
