St Patrick's Church, The Rocks


The St Patrick's Catholic Church is an active Catholic church building located at the junction of Grosvenor and Gloucester Streets in the inner city Sydney suburb of The Rocks in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by William Fernyhough and John Frederick Hilly and built from 1840 to 1844 by Andrew Ross & Co. It is also known as St Patrick's, Church Hill and St Pat's Church Hill. The property is owned by the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. The Marist Fathers, a religious order, have administered the parish since 1868.
The church is associated with the heritage-listed Federation Hall located at 24-30 Grosvenor Street, built as a parish hall and was used for that purpose until 1914. The property was sold by the parish in the 1920s.
