Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The Parish was founded in 1912? as far as I can ascertain, there is not a lot of history or information about the church.
The side view, the front and the back view of the church.
Churches here are pretty much becoming historical relics as congregations plummet. Mostly these days they are people with white hair or no hair, with very few young people maintaining religious observance.
Beautiful church.
ReplyDeleteEach time we have been to Ayr the church looks emulate.

ReplyDeleteSame on this island and same in the remainder of Australia in most areas.
DeleteIt is a very pretty church.
ReplyDeleteIt does look attractive.
Deletebest part...no smoky sky
ReplyDeleteTrue, smoke came later I expect but probably too far north to have smoke from NSW and southern Queensland.
DeleteIt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMany (most?) of our chuches in regular use now are of the Pentecostal variety and they often look more like community halls.
We have seen those type of churches as we have travelled within Australia.
DeleteUma igreja simpática.
ReplyDeleteUm sorriso de luz.

DeleteLas paredes blancas de la iglesia, me recuerdan la balncura de las casas de Andalucía, zona en la que yo habito.
ReplyDeleteEs muy bonita y muy agradable a la vista.

Interesting that the church is similar to ones near you.
DeleteEverything in the town looks so well cared for.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly does, a very clean, tidy and well looked after town.
DeleteHere in Terrigal, NSW church congregations are not ALL old white haired persons.
ReplyDeleteQuite the opposite to Canada obviously!!!!
