That’s rare enough supposedly - now - this is information I gleaned from a book written by a local lad here so I’m not going to stand over it with any conviction but north-south orientation is rare enough.

Ye’d have to be different out there alright

Another design feature is Catholic churches are typically in the shape.of a crucifix. Anglican/Protestant are not.

How does a rectangular object point anywhere?

when the priest is saying mass the direction he is facing when addressing the congregation is where it points.

In Ballygunner that’s north. In Sutton it’s south. I’d say this is some owl piseog that @EstebanSexface has been codded by.

North also in Howth.

You’d have to wonder has @EstebanSexface ever been inside a church. Absolute clanger from him.

You’re missing the point completely…

St Josephs in Limerick points North.
Foynes points South
Ballysteen points west

You a man of the cloth?

West in our Church on the peninsnula.

@Fagan_ODowd - I’m going to have a word with Eddie Tucker for facilitating me making a mug out of myself

Apparently the liturgy is supposed to face the rising sun. Seems like the church have compromised on one of their ideals here by building them willy nilly

He’s an alterboy that’s in high demand.

Loghill North, Borrigone South, Kilcornan South, Kildimo North. I think what we can conclusively say is that Church alters face the direction of the road

The altar faces east in Kilmallock and also in Ballingaddy. We do things the right way.

Borrigone is West, it faces towards Foynes

@EstebanSexface needs a rebrand after this.

I’m comfortable being wrong. I learned a thing, unlearned and learned new things.
