Compiling church history

A local church turns 150 next year, and the parish is collecting historical photos and stories to use in a new book.

St Bernard’s Church in Bacchus Marsh was dedicated and opened back on 28 June 1874, and to mark the anniversary, the St Bernard’s Parish plans to release a book of photos, stories, and other contributions over those many years.

Contributions from families involved with St Bernard’s Parish since 1874 can be sent to [email protected] with the subject ‘Attention 150th book committee’.

The Parish’s 150th book committee hopes that families who used to live in Bacchus Marsh, but now live out of town, will also hear about the book and make contributions – so letting former parishioners know about the book would be greatly appreciated.
