ST MARY OF THE ANGELS BASILICA
150 Yarra Street, Geelong, VIC 3220 Directions
Since 1847
Here’s The Deal:
St Mary of the Angels Basilica was founded on 27 November 1842. It is a Catholic place of worship with its vibrant community participating in regular Sunday and weekday Masses. The church is a Gothic revival bluestone building that was established to serve the local Catholic families. At first, the church was a small wooden chapel. But over the years, as the population started growing, a new church building was designed, and the construction was completed in 1937. St Mary of the Angels Basilica offers Sunday classes for government and private school children. The church has the fourth-tallest non-cathedral spire in Australia. The church faced many restorations and renovations to serve the community with faith in God and humanity over the years. St Mary of the Angels Basilica acknowledges the continued deep spiritual attachment and relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to this country and commit themselves to the ongoing journey of reconciliation.

CHRIST CHURCH
Corner of Moorabool and McKillop Streets, Geelong, VIC 3220 Directions
Since 1843
Here’s The Deal:
Christ Church is one of the oldest Anglican churches in Victoria that Edmund Blacket designed. The parish community dates back to 1843, so does the foundation stone laid year. After years of construction, the church's construction was completed and was consecrated in 1859. Christ Church is the only church in Victoria, which a colonial architect designed. The church was enlarged with the addition of the transepts and sanctuary. The place is a great historical and architectural achievement that has spiritual significance within Australia. They encourage everyone to listen to and respect one another, and their community is guided by kindness, generosity and grace and, above all, by God's love for all. Christ Church offers worships and masses in different styles both on Sundays and throughout the week.
