St Francis' Church is the oldest Catholic church in Victoria, Australia on its original site in Melbourne. It is located (at 326 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne) on the corner of Lonsdale Street and Elizabeth Street.
We attended evening mass on 7 November 2015 after visiting Federation Square.
For over 160 years, St Francis’ has been an important place of prayer and worship in the centre of the city of Melbourne.
In 1929, St Francis’ Church became a eucharistic shrine in the care of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation.
Centrally located in the Melbourne's CBD, St Francis' has never lost its place as one of the city's most popular and widely used churches, and today is the busiest church in Australia, with more than 10,000 worshippers attending each week.
