ST. ALPHONSUS' CHURCH, LIMERICK.- The artistic Catholic Church, whose interior is depicted above, was built for the Redemptorist Fathers in 1862, and is one of the largest religious edifices in a city remarkable for the number, beauty and capaciousness of its temples of divine worship. Architectural critics find fault with the rows of pillars which, while they add to the impressiveness, take away much in the way of light and sound from the superb body of the church.
