St Francis’ Church

The oldest Roman Catholic church in Australia has a history of more than 170 years and is small in size. The church also has colorful painted glass and wooden top floors. The small church with little crowds can be seen passing by. On October 4, 1841, the first Roman Catholic Church was held in St. Francis. It remained the main church until St. Patrick's Church was built and became the official cathedral in 1868. The exterior is majestic, but the interior is much simpler than I thought, and St. Francis of Assisi is a blessing to the lover. Surrounded by some very beautiful stained glass windows and paintings. St. Francis and sister Claire's sculptures are on both sides of the altar. The small church on the side formed the shape of a cross. At noon today, the stream of people came here, and I prayed quietly in my heart. Several churches we have visited have closed.

Australia was the place of exile for early British criminals, who had been left to fend for themselves. Unexpectedly, these people were tenacious and their breeding efforts were superb, giving the Queen hope. As a result, in order to rehabilitate the first offenders on the island, a group of Anglican clergy and believers were transported up. So there are more churches on the Australian land. As for the transformation, you can see the credit market.

This church is Melbourne's most famous Catholic church. We went to play on the first day of the New Year. On the evening of the day, there were many believers gathered in the church. The New Year celebration was special

Australia's oldest Catholic church is located in the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth streets. It is the most popular and widely used church with many worshippers attending. Built in 1841-1845, there is a beautiful chapel on the west side of the church, a semi-circle sanctuary as an extension of the church. The chapel on the edge forms a cross shape. Great colored glass, St. Francis statue and the Claire sister statue on both sides of the altar. There is a pastor's centre and now a car park is built. The church has been listed in the Victorian Heritage Register and the Australian Heritage Council. Rich heritage, majestic.
