DescriptionThe first St Mary's was a simple timber building, replaced in 1858 with a stone church. With a growing congregation, the need for a new church building was identified and Father Andrew Horan built a church hall for temporary worship use whilst the new church was constructed.
The design was based on St Joseph's Cathedral, Rockhampton, by architect F.D.G. Stanley & Son, that had been constructed 1893-1899.
The new church was dedicated on Sunday 30th September 1904 by His Eminence Cardinal Moran, Archbishop of Sydney.
