Comments
The present St Marys Uniting Church, Oxley Park , also known as the Wesley Memorial Christian Centre was opened on 28/2/1976, bringing together the Mt Druitt and St Marys Methodist Congregations. It now also includes a Cook Island congregation and the Samoan Faith Community.
The original St Marys Methodist Church was opened on 10/10/1860 in Queen Street, St Marys. It was a weatherboard building erected on land donated by Mr George Matthews. It was replaced by a brick structure in 1893 as it had been infected with white ants. It was demolished in 1972 and the congregation then worshipped with the Mt Druitt Methodist congregation in the Mt Druitt Road and Ropes Creek Road church building until the present one was completed.
