All About Cork has learned that St Augustine’s Church Cork is set to close permanently.
The church, which belongs to the Order of Saint Augustine, is located on Washington Street in the heart of Cork.
It was originally built in 1942 and later renovated in 1972.
The building has two entrances, one on Washington Street and another on Grand Parade.
It is understood that serving priests will inform parishioners of the decision at Masses this weekend.

A source close to the order described the development as “a very sad time for all,” adding that the closure reflects declining attendance at church services.
