St Dominic's Parish

Reviewed By Ginty012 - Melbourne, Australia

Attended a family funeral here. Impressive old bluestone church with tall spire at the front. Spacious interior with beautiful stained glass windows. Located on busy Riversdale Rd but plenty of parking in the rear car park and side street.

Richmond Catholic Parish

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

St Ignatius Church is an awe-inspiring building, one of the largest churches in Victoria outside of the Melbourne CBD. Due to Richmond's relative poverty in days gone by, it took many years to complete St Ignatius. The church is built in Gothic Revival style. The main building material is bluestone, the material favored by 19C institutional architects. St Ignatius is in Church St, Richmond's highest point. The stained glass is magnificent. The church is named for St Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, better known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits built their churches for the ages.

Holy Trinity Anglican Church

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Holy Trinity Anglican Church was constructed in the 1840s, before Victoria was a State. It is built of bluestone and appears to be solid. These days, it has services in English and Arabic, servicing the growing Middle Eastern population in the Northern Suburbs. Holy Trinity has other outreach programs for new migrants.

St Paul's Cathedral

St Paul's Anglican Cathedral is a beautiful, historic building, situated in the centre of the City of Melbourne, Australia. It is a place of worship and prayer. St Paul's is built on the site where the first public Christian services in Melbourne were led by Dr Alexander Thomson in 1836. Soon afterwards a small wooden chapel was built elsewhere, and the area became a corn market until 1848, when it was made available for the building of the bluestone St Paul's Parish Church. Consecrated in 1852, this Church was used until 1885, when it was demolished to make way for the present Cathedral. The decision to build on the site of the existing church was made because of its proximity to the railway and soon to be completed cable tramway service.The Swanston Street and Flinders Street corner remains one of Melbourne's busiest intersections today, ensuring the Cathedral is a place at the heart of city life.

Right in the Melbourne CBD just a stones throw from Federation Square on Flinders St is the magnificent and iconic St Paul’s Cathedral. Even if you are not religious I’d recommend going along to a Sunday service just to witness the whole package of St Paul’s (Neo-Gothic architecture, built in 1880) with its twin spires & high ceiling, intricate mosaic work and stain glass storybook windows together with full choir, church music (church bells and pipe organ) and sermon. It is a solemn experience and really quite something. Entry is free. You have to pay to take photos (I learnt this after the fact!).
