History and Architecture:
The Church was designed by Gino Volpato and built by Sabemo and was opened in 1966.
A low pitched gable roof embraces a rectangular nave with and entrance at the south end, ancillary rooms at the north end and broad verandas protecting the extensive glazing of the east and west side walls. The ceiling follows the roof lines, sloping downwards from ridge to each side wall. The north wall, behind the altar, is face brickwork. The seating layout is traditional, with modern pews flanking a wide central isle. A pyramidal tower-spire dominates the south or front façade, with the entrance porch at its base and a cross at its apex.
The architectural style of the building is late 20th century ecclesiastical.
