St Mary's Star of the Sea / Roman Catholic Cathedral (Darwin)


The idea of the War Memorial Cathedral in Darwin was actually first mooted by war troops stationed there after St Mary's Church had been severely damaged in an air-raid in 1942. The troops had a close affinity with St Mary's while they were in Darwin. Some of the Chaplains were MSCs and the troops worshipped at St Mary's which was, and still is, the garrison church.

As Darwin grew after the war, the need for a new St Mary’s became more evident. Mr Ian Ferrier, of the firm of J P Donoghue, Cusick and Edwards of Brisbane, designed the new building.
