Appraisal
Architectural design and detailing is apparent in the form and construction of this church. Utilising modern forms and materials, typical of the 1960s in Ireland, this building is an interesting example of church building in the latter half of the twentieth century. Artistic interest is added to the building by the stained glass and interior features.
