Description
A view of the Redemptorist Church in North Perth, Western Australia. This image is of the large traceried window containing five stained glass and lead light panels, which dominate the church’s appearance.
This Federation Gothic Style church and the adjoining monastery were designed by Michael and James Cavanagh in 1902 for the Redemptorist Order of the Catholic Church, which had been newly established in WA in 1899. The church was opened by Bishop Gibney and Abbot Torres (from New Norcia) on 13 September 1903 and is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul. An additional monastery wing was added in 1912 and a chapel and transept in 1922. The monastery and church together were added to the WA Heritage register in 2006.
