Comments

The current church is not the first church of the parish; in fact, it is the fourth. The history of the current church goes back to 1960 when parishioners, under the guidance of Father Patrick Brennan (Parish Priest between 1953 - 1968), formed a committee to investigate the possibility of erecting a new church on the site to replace the existing church which was opened in 1908. This still stands on the corner of Randle and Grimwood Streets and is known as Mackillop Hall.

No other details are known about the Holy Trinity War Memorial Church. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 11/5/2018.
