Comments
The All Hallows Catholic Church, Five Dock is in the Parish of Five Dock and the Diocese of Sydney. The first Mass in the parish was celebrated on 21/12/1919 in the Chelmsford Hall, a picture theatre, as there was no church building. The first church-school was opened in 1921 and used to celebrate Mass as the Church of All Hallows. Over the years to meet the needs of the growing congregation and school various extensions were made to the 1921 building. A new larger church building was needed, and this was opened by Cardinal Gilroy on 21/7/1963. [Sourced from: https://www.allhallows.org.au/history/]. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/9/2020 & 21/1/2023.
