St Dominic’s Catholic Church has been a local institution for more than a century, which is a tribute to the dedicated parishioners and divers Dominicans who have built up the Church in this part of Melbourne. We hope to continue their legacy of Catholic worship and charitable service in this place so that all may know the truth of Jesus Christ.
Many Catholics have made St Dominic’s their home. Visitors to the Church will be able to appreciate William Patrick Connolly’s elegant design and Henry Clarke’s magnificent windows. Finally completed in 1958 and consecrated in 1960, St Dominic’s Church has been described as “a defiant finale to the Gothic Revival in Australia”. Even more importantly, St Dominic’s Church is a sign of eternal hope and an oasis of abiding peace in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
The magnificant gothic revival bluestone church is suffering from water ingress and ongoing conservation issues due to the age of the building. The priority works are to seal where free water is leding into the church, before beginning works on remedying the the ingress issues. Once this is addressed, other impacts on the building such as gutter, roof, window works and repointing across the whole building will begin.
