St Patrick's Church, The Rocks, Catholic church in The Rocks, Australia
St Patrick's Church stands at the intersection of Grosvenor and Gloucester Streets, featuring traditional Catholic architectural elements with stained glass windows and altar pieces.
William Davis, a Catholic emancipist transported after the Irish Rebellion of 1798, established the foundation for the church on August 25, 1840.
The church maintains strong connections to Sydney's Irish Catholic heritage through regular religious ceremonies, community events, and educational programs.
The church provides daily Mass services, with special celebrations during Christmas including multiple services from 5:00 PM on Christmas Eve through 6:00 PM on Christmas Day.
The oldest Catholic church in Sydney operates in its crypt a parochial school, established in 1865, before relocating to a separate building in 1876.
