Comments
The former St Michael's Catholic Church, Goroke has closed, and the building removed from the site as it was unsafe. It was in the Parish of Western Border and the Diocese of Ballarat. Mases from about 1882 had been held in private homes, until the first church was opened in 1897 [some sources suggest 1887]. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 13/1/2023.
