The present St Patrick`s Church`s foundation stone was laid on St Patrick`s Day, 1875, and completed in 1886. The church was built of local stone in Gothic Revival design and features imported stain glass windows which were imported from Italy.
It was designed and built under the supervision of ex-convict Joseph Nunan, who was commissioned by the resident priest of the time, Father Patrick Gibney, to build a larger church to accommodate an increasing congregation.
The original Catholic Church was built in 1859 and dedicated to St Patrick, today it is used as the church hall.
