St Carthage's Parish Church, built on the site of an earlier church, was constructed between 1881 and 1884.[2] It was designed by architect Walter Glynn Doolin, and is an example of a Lombardo-Romanesque style church.[3] [4] The Church has held Catholic ceremonies since its opening. The current bishop is Alphonsus Cullinan and its current priest is Michael Cullinan.[5]
The church was built using red sandstone and white limestone. Its bell tower is 37 metres tall.
