"An elaborate, monumental church of architectural importance, which was one of the later churches designed by the well known Gothic Revival architect, J. J. McCarthy. Opened in 1889 and very well maintained, the church presents an early aspect with most of the original features and fabric intact. There is rich internal carving and decoration, with ornate mosaics in the chancel, designed under the direction of George Ashlin; stained glass by Mayer and Earley; and high altar and interior carving executed by Edmund Sharp. Various furnishings to the interior are indicative of high quality timber joinery and craftsmanship. The church remains an important component of the townscape of Kilmallock, and is identified in the landscape by the elegant tower and spire that articulate the skyline."
