Comments

The St Paul's Catholic Church, Coburg was the second church built in this Coburg precinct. It was built in three stages. The first church building was superseded in 1894 by a substantial new brick building of Gothic Revival design. Further major additions were made in 1928, and in 1956 the bell tower was added. [Sourced from: http://pol.org.au/coburg/History.aspx]. It is part of the Diocese of Melbourne.  More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited.
