St John’s is Australia’s oldest existing Catholic church with the foundation stone being laid in 1824. It is associated with early pioneers, including James Ruse and Matthew Healy, both of whom are buried in the adjoining cemetery.

TCQ was tasked with returning this building to its former glory by removing lead-based paint to reveal the original sandstone facade underneath. We also carried out re-roofing, repaired render, replaced joinery to match original doors, and various other internal works.
