Comments
The current St Joseph's Catholic Church, is the third Catholic church in Gilgandra, and was consecrated in December 1974. The first was a very small wooden building in Morris Street. The next was a brick building opened in October 1914, which was demolsihed when the currrent church was erected.[Information based on notes by Greg Davis - https://www.facebook.com/groups/OldAustralianChurchesAlbum/ ]. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 27/3/2020.
