After years of talk and planning, and months of construction and renovations, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Wodonga is finally near completion. I drove past it today and can hardly recognise it! No longer is it the massive yellow-brick monstrosity it once was, but a nice, modern, white-rendered building with nice stained glass windows throughout. Inside are many changes, including, best to my knowledge, a hospitality section, meeting rooms and new piety stall (I think!).
Next weekend will be the first mass held there in months since being renovated - Saturday 12th at 6pm and Sunday 13th at 10:30am - followed by a tour of the new presbytery between St. Augustine's Church and St. Augustine's Primary School, in the former convent, which, like St. Augustine's Church, has also undergone massive changes and renovations.
No longer is the main Catholic Church of the Wodonga Parish an eyesore, but the best looking modern-church in the area. I look forward to seeing just what has been done to the church, also the presbytery, and finally, St. Augustine's, the original Catholic Church in Wodonga - an old, but lovely, traditional church.
