St Mary Immaculate - Charlestown, NSW, Australia - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

This is a largish brown-brick church, almost looking like a large American barn, with the main entrance at the eastern end. There are twelve gray steps up to the double doors. While I was sitting on the steps writing in my Waymarking log book the details of the church, a caretaker came along, and was able to show me a tablet inside the foyer, that documents the blessing and opening of this church on March 18, 1960. [As follows]

To the Honour and Glory of God
and under the title of

blessed and opened by
