History and Architecture:
Fr O'Brien celebrated the first Mass in the Bayswater-Wantirna area in 1917 at the home of Mr A Piergrosse. From 1910 onwards, the Bayswater community hall was a venue for many activities, and from 1917 onwards, this included the celebration of Sunday Mass. Weekday, or special occasion Masses, were celebrated in private homes. Home Masses were generally celebrated by priests from the Sacred Heart Monastery at Croydon.
Building of the current Church commenced in July 1984 by Reid, Wood and Associates. On 15 September 1985 the Church was consecrated by Archbishop Frank Little; in a little over five years from the creation of the parish.
