Comments
The current small bell was installed in 2017. It was donated and came from the former Brigidine Convent in Beechworth (now the Priory). It is rung before Mass each week as a constant reminder of the valuanble work the Brigidine Sisters did in and around the Parish of Beechworth (includes Yackandandah) - [Note from Archivist of Diocese of Sandhurst].
No other details are known about St Matthew's Catholic Church. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 18/11/2017.
