Comments

Fr. P D Moore of Stawell, conducted the first Mass in Minyip in 1875. The first church in Minyip was opened in 1876. The second church held its first Mass in June 1898 and in October 1900 it was blessed by Bishop Moore. The third and present church (a pre-fabricated structure) was opened in 1987 by Bishop Ronald Mulkearns. The old church which had become unsafe was demolished and the land sold. More historical information/photographs of the original churches/congregations are invited. Photographs uploaded 3/1/2017.
