Date Created25th February 2020CommentsJenny Marshall Is that Bishop Eddie Joyce? The opening would have to be prior to 1963

Dave Steers That was over the road from our place in herold St.

Pauline Naylor Looks like Bishop Brian Joyce

Pauline Schafer I would have thought it was later than 1960, as I took my first communion in the old Brunner church at age 7, which would have been 1962, and the Dobson church was opened not long after that. The alter boys look a bit like Andrew Green on the left, Donny Hartill in the middle and Peter Green on the Right, but just guessing.

Geoffrey Bell Father O'Sullivan on the right with the glasses.
Tom Hartill Don Hartill Were you an alter boy?

Brent Duggan I remember this opening. I later became an alter boy. Nice church.

Florence Gunn I remember seeing all the Good folk coming out of that church on a Sunday from where I lived. A lot went straight to the pubs then for rest of day. That was the way life was

Brian Steele Its house now. Know where it is. Can never remember it being used but can remember it being used as a play school / kindergarten. Think my sister Lynda could have gone there

Patrick Casserly Who remember who owns the section with the house where the church was now or was

Elaine Lawson Stone Patrick Casserly Mcsporrans used to live in the house there next to Mr and Mrs Smithson. Before the church moved there.

Patrick Casserly Elaine Lawson Stone I Didn’t remember them Elaine

Sandra Sands I used to wait outside for Roger Tackley so we could play

Brent Duggan Sandra... Roger was probably in there with me.

Heather Reid Was that Mcsporran

Elaine Lawson Stone Heather Reid yes.

Helen Green Remember that. Just lived around the corner in Dobson.
