St Brendan`s Church Memorial Print Page 
St Brendan`s Church Memorial commemorates those from the parish who served in World War One.
Some time ago a meeting of the Catholic congregation of Ganmain was held for the purpose of considering in what manner the Catholic people could perpetuate the memory of all the Catholic young men of the parish who had fought in the great world war. After due consideration, it was eventually decided to erect a war shrine, and the matter was taken up with such enthusiasm that a contract was let for the work, and Sunday week saw the blessing and unveiling of the shrine. The ceremony was performed by his Lordship Dr. Dwyer (Bishop of Wagga) in the presence of a large congregation. Visitors were present from Wagga, Marrar, Coolamon, Matong and the surrounding districts. The Catholic people of Ganmain are to be congratulated on the erection of what we believe to be the first war shrine by any Catholic community in the State.
