Annerley, QLD - Mary Immaculate Catholic

History and Architecture:

A group of parishioners approached Archbishop James Duhig with a proposal to construct a building that could serve the parish as both a church and a school. Their request was approved and land was subsequently purchased by Archbishop Duhig for £814 in October 1912.
 
Only ten years after the opening of the original church, Archbishop Duhig announced that a new church would be built to meet the needs of the fast-growing parish.

The Foundation stone was laid in the midst of the Great Depression on 11 October 1931 by Archbishop Duhig. The total cost of the church was £10,451 of which £5,295 was raised by the time of the dedication. The church is a French Gothic style which dominates the south western corner of the site.

The church is a French Gothic style which dominates the south western corner of the site which it shares with a presbytery, convent, classroom buildings and other associated school facilities. The church and adjacent primary school were designed by J. P. Donoghue.
