Comments
The St Patrick's Catholic Church, Marrar is part of the Parish of Culcairn and the Diocese of Wagga Wagga. Catholic services had been conducted in the district by the early 1900s, and in 1904, land was set aside for a church when Marrar was proclaimed a village. The church building began about 1911 and it was opened on 25/2/1912. Until the church building was erected services were held in the Winter's Hall. The church is still listed in the 'catholicdirectory,' but no services or activities are listed on the Diocese website. It is not clear if it is still functioning. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 25/6/2021.
