The present St Martha's Catholic Church, Strathfield was built in 1923/4 to cater for the growing congregation. It replaced the smaller church building, opened in 1904, and which is now the hall. Over the years additions and renovations have been carried out on the buildings to meet the needs of the congregation. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 11/2/2021.
