St. Patrick’s Catholic Church

We visited Queenstown recently to celebrate 20 years of marriage and I organised to renew our vows in this beautiful little church.. was so incredibly thankful that even though it hadn’t been requested of them to host a vow renewal before, they were so amazingly accommodating.. Thankyou so much!! Loved it x

Australia's Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, raised Catholic, lauded the declaration of Australia’s first Saint as “deeply significant ... for all Australians whether of Catholic faith or not.” To win favor with the Vatican and achieve sainthood at least two miracles need to be cleared, first by medical bodies and later by religious authorities. Apart from its impressive Star of David–shaped rose window, this 1874 stone Gothic Revival church, built from local schist rock, it is worth noting for its connection to Australasia's only Catholic saint. Acclaimed educator St Mary of the Cross, aka Mary MacKillop (1842–1909), founded a convent in the tiny 1870s miners cottage next door. There are interesting displays about the saint in the church and in the restored cottage. The St Mary McKillop cottage is on the church grounds and is open daily for viewing.

Nice stone church.

Great little Catholic Church. Mass at 11am is great when you are on holiday

A peaceful and quiet place to pray.
