Comments

The former St John's Catholic Church is now privately owned. The first Mass in Natimuk is believed to have been held in 1876. A church was opened in 1889, by Father Hogan, but damaged by a cyclone in 1897. The present building was opened as a church in 1915. The church building was formally closed on Sunday 2/5/2010 with a Mass, Bishop Peter Connors and Fr Peter Sherman presiding. It concluded with a procession to the Uniting Church, a few doors down the road, where Mass will be held monthly in future. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/1/2017.
