Brief History

The Augustinians have been serving the people of Limerick and surrounding area for almost 700 years. Their first foundation was in ADARE, CO. LIMERICK which is now a centre of worship and education for the Church of Ireland Community.

 

In 1633 the Augustinians moved into Limerick city and established monasteries, a hospital and public churches in FISH LANE AND QUAY LANE   ( off George's Quay).

They moved to their present location on O'Connell St. in1823. For more than 100 years, a converted theatre served as a church on this location until the present one was opened and blessed on 20th December 1942.
