Comments
The Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, Deloraine is part of the Parish of Meander Valley and the Diocese of Hobart. The present church building was opened on 9/11/1886, and replaced an earlier wooden structure built in the 1850s, which had become too small. A school and convent were opened in the converted hotel next to the church in 1895/6. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 3/6/2023.
