DescriptionChurch built ca. 1907 in simple gothic style, gable entry type.
The Church is 92 feet long and 42 feet wide. The original High Altar was a product of the Antwerp firm of Beylen Brothers. It was carved entirely from oak and had a plain Gothic style with niches for six statues plus a crucifix in a central canopied niche flanked by statues of Our Lady and St. John. A new gallery proving extra seating was completed in 1922.
In circa 1964 the wooden high altar was removed and a stone one was set up in order for the priest to celebrate Mass facing the people as a response to liturgical changes that were to be made as a consequence of the Second Vatican Council. The oak-plank flooor was replaced with one which was based on concrete. A re-fashioned pulpit was installed, as well as new altar-rails, freestanding tabernacle and altar furniture.
Artwork includes fourteen oil paintings depicting the Stations of the Cross, artist unknown, a 3-light window from c1980 depicting the Crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and St John by Alexander Beleschenko and a 5-light window showing the figure of Christ in glory by Rachel Phillips in 2008.
