Postcard, R.C. Church Sunbury

Historical information

On 17th January 1856, two acres of land was granted for the building of a school and church on that site in Macedon Street. A small temporary building was erected on the site and on 13th December 1864 the foundation stone was laid for the new stone church which was known as 'Our Lady of Mount Carmel'. At times it was also known as St. Mary's Church, which was confusing because the Anglican Church is named St. Mary's Church.

Significance

It is one of the oldest churches to be established in Sunbury.
