Built in 1867, the Friary Church is a fascinating combination of both Irish and Belgian styles. The interior walls are painted with intricate, Celtic designs, while a stunning Flemish high altar dominates the back gable. This altar has elaborately carved niches featuring beautiful wooden statues of angels and saints. The two most prominent niches feature statues of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and St Joseph, the patron saint of Belgium. Within the sacristy of the altar is the skull of Fr. Francis O'Sullivan, Provincial of the 62 Irish Franciscan houses when he was brutally murdered in 1653.
