St Patrick’s Church has been the focal point of community life in the historic port of Fremantle for nearly a century and a half. From its early beginnings in the convict period, St Patrick’s has served as a stimulus to education, social welfare and entertainment as well as its prime function as a centre of worship, staffed by the Oblates since 1894. Geraldine Byrne shows how it has developed into the handsome Basilica of today from humble beginnings. pp. iv, 219 illusts #0518/1120 First Edition
