| PARISH |
| WITH THE RAPID EXPANSION OF DUBBO AFTER WORLD WAR II, THE PARISH CHURCH OF ST BRIGID BECAME TOO SMALL FOR THE POPULATION. AS A RESULT NEW PARISHES WERE CREATED IN DUBBO, ST MARY OF THE ANGELS IN NORTH DUBBO IN 1953 AND ST LAURENCE O'TOOLE IN SOUTH DUBBO IN 1964. WHILE NORTH DUBBO WAS EVENTUALLY SUPPRESSED AND REJOINED TO DUBBO, SOUTH DUBBO HAS RETAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE UNTIL THE PRESENT. NEXT |

| THE PARISH CHURCH WAS BUILT IN THE EARLY 60'S JUST PRIOR TO THE CREATION OF THE PARISH. IT IS A TYPICAL CHURCH OF ITS TIMES IN USING MODERN MATERIALS AND STYLISTIC TECHNIQUES WHILE REMAINING ESSENTIALLY TRADITIONAL IN ITS LITURGICAL LAYOUT. LATER THE INTERIOR WAS REMODELLED IN KEEPING WITH THE LITURGICAL REFORMS OF THE LATE 60's. TOP HISTORIC CHURCHES |
