Mount St. Alphonsus is home to the Redemptorists order, who arrived in Limerick in 1851. This church was built soon after.
This site was one of 23 venues for the 31st edition of EVA in 2007, curated by Klaus Ottmann (b. 1964, Germany).
Mount St. Alphonsus was one of numerous sites for a project by Miriam Lohan (b. 1975, Ireland), titled Ringing Limerick. On 7 May 2007, between the times of 11:15am and 11:45am, the artist organised 13 churches around Limerick city to ring their bells simultaneously.
This performance was recorded and available to listen to after the event.
