The parish church in Bruff was built in 1828. It is dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. Lewis described Bruff church as a handsome building in early English style. The building was commenced by Andrew Ryan P.P., and completed by the RC Dean of Limerick, Patrick MacNamara, his successor as PP of Bruff. Andrew Ryan was Parish Priest for 23 years, and is buried in the church.
The side altar on the right is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and was donated by William and Teresa Naughton in 1930. The side altar on the left is dedicated to the Sacred Heart and was donated by Patrick and Josephine Kirby in 1950. Other parishioners donated the stained glass windows in the church.
