St Laurence OTooles Catholic Church

Sandon, Victoria.
Sandon is a small country town with a population of 303


A small wooden school (22' x 14') was erected in Sandon by Father Smyth in 1859 which was used for Mass and came to be regarded as a chapel.
Twenty-three years later, a brick church was built by Father Allen at a cost of 1,000 pounds. The Church was blessed by Archbishop Goold on May 6th 1883 and dedicated to St Laurence

Surprising to find these centres of worship and society in the middle of fields in the country and so often cherished and maintained with their history still important in the community...you have captured this aspect of rural Australia so well,Barbara...V

It is typical of many country churches around the country - nicely capture through the trees.

I like your view through the dry paddocks and old eucalypts. I think every small town has a catholic church built in that design and made to last
