St Brigid's Church, Red Hill

St Brigid's Church stands atop Red Hill with a brick exterior and gothic elements, featuring pointed arches and stained glass windows throughout the structure.

The foundation stone was placed in 1912, and construction completed in 1914 by builder Thomas Keenan to accommodate 1000 parishioners in the growing community.

Named after Saint Brigid of Kildare, the church represents the strong Irish Catholic presence in Brisbane during the early 20th century development.

The church maintains regular mass schedules and religious ceremonies as part of the Jubilee Catholic Parish, serving Brisbane's inner western suburbs.

The structure's north-south orientation creates a direct visual connection with George Street, making it visible from multiple vantage points across Brisbane.
