St. Mary's Church

Currently, the Parish Priest is Rev. Fr. Gewargis Atto who arrived to Australia in 1997 from Syria.

The Church had been the main centre of worship for the members of the Assyrian Church of the

 

East for over 16 years, offering every spiritual service of the Church to its faithful.

The Church hall, which was opened in 1975, is situated behind the main Church building, and caters for up to 350 persons. This hall had also been utilised for many social and commemerable events of the community.

 

Presently, the Church is utilised by faithful who reside locally, attending Church services and other activities. Extensive improvements and additions were completed on the Church and hall, to the total cost of A$300,000
