Hamilton Victoria. Stained glass window for St Vincent de Paul in the Catholic Church.

St Marys Catholic Church. The basalt bluestone church was built in 1866 with a grand tower. The western section was added in 1902 with a more recent modern section now also on the western side. The parents of Saint Mary MacKillop worshiped here and there is a family memorial window to them in the church. Since becoming a saint the nave of the original church has now became a museum and shrine to Saint Mary MacKillop. Hamilton Anglican Co Cathedral also honours Saint Mary MacKillop and is the only Anglican Church in the world with a silver icon of Saint Mary MacKillop installed in the church in 1998 just before she was canonised.
