Church Overview

Designed by Andy MacMillan and Izzy Metstein of Gillespie Kidd & Coia for a tight, steep hillside site and built 1959-60. The most notable internal feature is the facetted concrete roof. The church contains excellent sculptures by Benno Schotz: bronze altar frontal, crucifix and lampholder and twelve terracotta Stations of the Cross based on parishioners and friends of Schotz. The concrete tower acts as a spire and sits seperately to the north of the church next to the presbytery, a large red sandstone building.
