HomeSt. Mary is a Catholic parish located in St. Kilda East, Victoria. The church held its first Mass on July 31, 1864, after five years of construction, and was officially dedicated on November 26, 1871. Founded by Dr. James Corbett, it was the first church consecrated in the colony of Victoria and the second in Australia. St. Mary’s has been integral to Catholic education in the area, with the establishment of a convent and primary school shortly after the church's dedication, followed by the Christian Brothers' involvement in local education.
