Statement of Significance

An imposing bluestone church built in two stages, the first section of which was designed by T A Kelly and built in 1869-72 and completed by the addition of transepts and sanctuary in 1912-13. The western facade is somewhat French in character and incorporates an elaborate traceried rose window, portal and tower base, and triangular nave clerestory windows comparable with those of St Mary's, Geelong, also designed by Kelly. The eastern sections, vaulted in plaster, are of a simpler style than the nave, and incorporate carved marble fittings and attractive stained glass, but diminished by recent liturgical changes.
