Hello pauleyboy,

St. Augustine's Church was located in Middle Street.

Hi Christopher, this link cover most of the churches of Galway.
Maybe of use to people who are looking? It does not give much info only a map and location of each church

This one gives a little more info but not much

Hi,

The other Church in Middle Street ( next door to the MI) is the Pro Cathedral where I was confirmed. It was in use up until the late 1960;s. Its records were divided between ST Patrick's Church Forster St Galway and Galway Cathedral !
It was decommissioned and is now in multi use as bookshop, offices and restaurant !

Regards
