WHO IS SAINT JOHN

In Limerick, when referring to St. John, the common understanding is that it refers to St. John the Baptist.

This is evident in:

St. John's Church: The historical context and dedication of the church strongly suggests St. John the Baptist.
St. John's Cathedral: The main Catholic cathedral in Limerick is dedicated to St. John the Baptist.
Local Tradition: Historian Begley's account of the Knights Templar having a house dedicated to St. John the Baptist further solidifies this association.
While there are other saints named John (such as St. John the Evangelist), in the context of Limerick, St. John primarily refers to St. John the Baptist.
