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.
Patrician Brothers Print Page 
Plaque erected by Patrician Brothers thanking the priests, parishioners and local people for their hospitality.
In 1994 the Brothers were offered the Principalship of the Sacred Heart Primary School on Thursday Island, and in 1995 two Brothers moved there, one to take up the Principalship and the other to work in the parish.
Over the next eleven the Brothers worked in the schools and parish of Thursday Island. But again, due to lack of numbers, the Brothers had to be withdrawn and 2005 was the Brothers’ last year on the island.
