Comments

The present Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Darlinghurst building is the second on this site. It was opened and consecrated in 1911 by Archbishop Michael Kelly, to replace the earlier church building which had become too small.. The first church was consecrated and opened on 6/6/1852. It was also the first Catholic church in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 21/8/2020.
