Comments

The first Catholic church building on the site of the present St Peter's was a small wooden structure completed in 1864.

The present church building was opened in May 1907.

A plaque honouring Dr Mary Glowery, a medical missionary to India who was born in Birregurra, is located inside the church.

More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 14/1/2018.
