“The new Dominican Convent Church, at Cabra, Clarence Park, erected at a. cost of over £9,000, was blessed and opened on Sunday afternoon by his Grace the Archbishop of Adelaide (the Most Rev. R. W, Spence, O.F., DJ).), in the presence of a large assemblage. The Archbishop was assisted in the ceremony by the Rev. Father Gatzemeyer, and among those present were the Vicar-General (Mgr. O'Neill), Mgr. Nevin, and the Rev. Prior O'Kelly. . . The new church is in architectural style and early Christian basilica. It comprises a nave divided from side aisles by colonnades of Ionic columns, which carry lintels, in the manner of St. Maria Maggiore at Rome, built in 432 A.D. The Sanctuary is so situated that the nuns' choir faces the side of it. It is divided from the nave and from the choir by low walls of polished marble, the gift of old pupils of the Convent School. From a spacious porch at the entrance rises a staircase to a gallery situated above it. The exterior of the church is in simple Italian Romanesque, the walls being of bluestone, relieved with red brick. The roof is covered with English tiles. The nuns' choir is covered with a reinforced concrete flat roof, and there is access to it from the upper floors of the convent adjoining. The seating in the church and choir is of blackwood. A striking feature is a magnificent high altar of first quality Carrara marble, with exquisite cooled marble for the panels and columns, the work having been done by Signor Luigi Tomassi at his studio at Pietrasanta, Italy. The central niche behind the gilded tabernacle contains a crucifix, and the canopy, which rises higher than those above the other niches, terminates above with a cross. Six of the, windows have been used already with stained glass, and are arranged to alternate Dominican and secular saints. The architects for the building were Messrs. Woods, Bagot, Jory, and Lambourne Smith, the contractors, Messrs. Emmett & Son; for the marble walls and flagging and erection of the altars.” [Advertiser 30 Apr 1917]
“The community at Cabra had started with only five Sisters, but they were a large number now. . . he wished to thank especially Mrs. O'Mara, who had presented the beautiful high altar. The second altar for the sanctuary had been presented by their Vicar-General (Mgr. O'Neill), who had long been a friend to the Sisters. . . The stations of the Cross statues and marble vases for the Church were supplied by H. Credlngton & Co., of the Art Gallery, Melbourne.” [Southern Cross 4 May 1917]
