Comments

The Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Roebourne is part of the Diocese of North West Australia. The present church building was re-opened on 7/5/2021 by Bishop Gary Nelson, after extensive renovations following the effects of time and cyclone damage. It had originally been erected about 1895, and consecrated in 1896 by Bishop Riley. It had replaced an earlier, mid 1880s, building which had been destroyed by a cyclone. Before this building was constructed, Anglican services had been held in private homes. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
