Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, Waverley

The Victorian Renaissance Revival church features a grand portico supported by four Ionic columns and twin bell towers at 45 Victoria Street.

The initial Catholic Church established in 1854 evolved with Franciscan management from 1879, leading to the construction of the Friary in 1891.

The church maintains regular Mass services and functions as a center for Catholic education and community gatherings in the Archdiocese of Sydney.

The structure received recognition under the Heritage Act and maintains its position on the New South Wales State Heritage Register since April 1999.

A large Hill's fig tree, planted by one of the Friars in 1937, stands within the characteristic gardens surrounding the religious complex.
