St Boniface Church Germiston, Anglican church in Germiston, South Africa
St Boniface Church is an Anglican place of worship in Germiston featuring a 1910 pipe organ and early 20th-century stained glass throughout. The building holds around 400 people and contains a nave, side chapels, chancel, sanctuary, and Lady Chapel.
Herbert Baker designed this church in 1908 to replace an earlier corrugated iron structure, completing it in 1910 during South Africa's mining boom. Its construction reflects the period when European communities were establishing permanent religious buildings in the region.
The All Souls Chapel, dedicated in 1918, honors South African soldiers who served in military conflicts. Visitors can experience how this space functions as a place of remembrance for the community.
The building is straightforward to visit and offers different areas to explore, from the side chapels to the Lady Chapel with its artworks. Visitors should allow time to notice details of the organ and colored windows throughout the space.
South African artist Cecil Skotnes created an icon of the Mother and Child displayed above the altar in the Lady Chapel, representing an important work in the country's art history. This piece often goes unnoticed by visitors who do not specifically look for it.
