St Peter Julian's Church - Sydney
The rapid progress of the Haymarket community prompted the Blessed Sacrament Congregation to begin building a larger church and monastery on the site in the early 1960s. The monastery was completed in April 1963. A strikingly modern church, designed by architect Terence Daly, was opened on 17 March 1964.
The new church was the first church in the world to be named after St Peter Julian Eymard, who was canonised in 1962 when construction was under way.
In July 2008 the church and monastery were closed for a major refurbishment. Randall Lindstrom of PMDL Architecture & Design Pty. Ltd. was commissioned to design and manage the building project. The newly renovated church was opened to the public on Saturday, 28 March 2009.
