St Denis Church, Joondanna

St Denis Church sits on Osborne Street and displays modern architectural lines with geometric forms and clean surfaces. Inside, the building houses a pipe organ that was relocated from St John of God Subiaco Hospital.

The parish was established in 1952 when Archbishop Redmond Prendiville separated it from the larger Osborne Park parish. This step created an independent place of worship for residents in the area.

The parish functions as a gathering space for the local community beyond regular worship, with the building serving as a meeting point for residents of the area. The congregation shares a focus on community bonds and collective spiritual practice.

The church is accessible and easy to reach from the street. Visitors should confirm service times before attending to ensure they arrive when the church is open for worship.

Architects Ernest and Iris Rossen designed the building with inspiration drawn from the Chapel of Ronchamp in France. This connection to a notable European work of architecture sets it apart in the local landscape.
