Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Saint Patrick`s Church CentenaryPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the centenary of St Patrick`s Catholic Church from 1885 to 1985.
St. Patrick`s, Gundagai.-We are informed that the Right Rev. Dr. Lanigan, bishop of Goulburn, has signified his intention of laying the foundation stone of St. Patrick's Church, Gundagai, on the 17th March instant. The erection of the new edifice is mainly due to the exertion and zeal of the Rev. H. M. Finnegan, who at one time had charge of St. Augustine's Church and the Yass district. On the interesting occasion the dedication sermon will be preached by the Very Rev. Prior Butler of Melbourne. Father Finnegan has arranged for a grand procession of clergy, laity, and shool children, and nothing will be left undone to make the event one that will long be remembered by the Catholic residents of Gundagai.-Yass Courier.
Goulburn Herald (NSW), 28 February 1885.
