HomeSt. Mary’s Parish, located in Guildford, Western Australia, is a Catholic parish with a rich history dating back to the first Catholic Mass celebrated in the area in 1852. Originally established to serve the local Catholic population, the parish saw significant growth following the arrival of Irish convicts in 1853, prompting the construction of the first church by Benedictine monks in 1860. The current church building was completed in 1936, and throughout its history, the parish has been involved with various educational initiatives, including hosting a Catholic primary school run by the Sisters of Mercy until its closure in 1967.
