Its design is more ornate than the more centrally located St Francis, this being Georgian. Historically, this church has enjoyed a strong connection with seafarers. The gardens are pleasant but the church is somewhat overshadowed by nearby developments.The church is only 100 metres from the Southern Cross Railway Station.
The church may not be a popular tourist spot, but it is cosy and beautiful enough to visit at any convenient time if you are staying at the central business district. It is usually open during business hours and of course during the mass times. It is always a wonderful spot to enter, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, think and pray.

ReplyDeleteI love the stonework and stained glass. Beautiful spot in the bustling city.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gem you've found, Nick! «Louis» wishes he could see this for himself.
ReplyDelete«Louis» posted this little church he found in tiny (pop. 188) Elmira, California.
The contrast of the old and the new in that first photo is terrific Nick.
