Comments

The St Monica's Catholic Church, Kangaroo Flat is part of the Parish of Golden Square and the Diocese of Sandhurst. The first Mass in the area was celebrated in 1857, in the International Hotel, owned by Mr Hiemann, a Lutheran. The present church building was opened on 7/11/1926 on the site of the International Hotel. It replaced a chapel, erected in 1864, opposite the current church. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 24/06/2016.
