Comments

The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Omeo is part of the Parish of Bairnsdale and the Diocese of Sale. The first Catholic Church building in Omeo was located at 169 Day Avenue, and used as a church from 1873 to 1909. Afterwards, until 1922 as a Catholic School. The church then relocated to 79 Day Avenue and erected a new church building which was opened in 1903. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 5/1/2026.
