The Augustinian Church was founded by the order of the same name, which was the first religious order to establish itself in Limerick. The present building dates from 1942. This Hiberno-Romanesque style church is topped by a statue of St Joseph and features an amazing stained glass window. Its bells were specially imported from London. Within the church there is also a shrine to St Nicholas of Toletine and an Adoration chapel, as well as a parish bookshop.
