Comments
The first All Saints Catholic Church, Woodburn was constructed in 1904, in Duke Street. A school and convent followed shortly thereafter. In 1925, the church, school and convent were relocated to a site on the western side of Rocky Mouth Creek. In 1945, a storm destroyed much of Woodburn, including the church and school buildings. A replacement church building was not erected and opened until 1953. A flood in February 1854 submerged most of Woodburn, including the interim scool building. A new school building was erected in 19881. Photographs uploaded 10/5/2017 & 25/2/2021.
