Comments

The St John's Catholic Church, Skipton is part of the Parish of Linton and the Diocese of Ballarat. The present church building was acquired by the Catholic Church in 1882. It had previously been a Methodist Chapel (1865-1870), which was renamed St Augustine's, later changed to St John's (no details or timing of change is known). The building was enlarged and renovated in 1897, 1929 and 1966 to meet the needs of the congregation. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 20/1/2020.
