THE PARISH OF BAULKHAM HILLS

Journey of Faith & Community

About the Project

 

The original St Michael’s Church at Baulkham Hills was built between 1844 and 1848. A small, beautiful sandstone Chapel, as the parish grew and the new church was built to accommodate the larger community, the old chapel fell into disrepair and neglect.

In an effort to conserve the church’s rich legacy as well as rebuild and restore it as a place of worship, solidarity, community, and more, we will reconsecrate the church in devotion to Our Lady of Ephesus, Queen Assumed into Heaven, Mother Mary.
