Historic images - Walkaround : St. Francis Catholic Church Melbourne Victoria Australia

Описание: St Francis' Church is a Roman Catholic church, located on the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth streets, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is the oldest Catholic church in Victoria.

The main body of the church (with various later additions) is one of very few buildings in central Melbourne which was built before the Victorian gold rush of 1851.

Saint Mary MacKillop (1842–1909) was baptised at St Francis' Church in 1842. The completed church was blessed on 23 October 1845.
In 1848, St Francis' became the cathedral church of the first Catholic Bishop of Melbourne, James Goold, and continued as a cathedral until 1868, when the diocesan seat was moved to the still unfinished St Patrick's Cathedral.
