Comments

The Memorial Chapel of St Peter and other buildings were dedicated by His Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne. The total sum necessary for the building of the Chapel was found by the members of the L.H.L.G. and the Chapel stands as a tribute to the honoured memory of officers and men of the Mercantile Marine who have lost their lives at sea during war.

More historical information on the church is invited. Photographs uploaded 17/2/2020.
