Namurkah Districts Early Church History Summary
Namurkah district history traces the Roman Catholic Church in Australia from 1778 onward. It notes early arrival delays, Governor Macquarie supervising St Mary’s Cathedral site in Sydney, and the 1841 church-building momentum. Melbourne priest Geoghegan arrived 1839, establishing Mass in the city. Numurkah parish began 1887 with Father O’Connor, later Archpriest McCarthy, and the 1902 foundation stone for the present church. The convent opened 1880, Sisters of St Joseph, with later rebuilds in Tocumwal road.
