Basilica of St Patrick, Fremantle

St Patrick's, Fremantle was established around 1850, the third Catholic community in Western Australia after St Mary's Cathedral Parish, Perth and the Benedictine community of New Norcia.

Until 1894 the Parish was served by Diocesan and Benedictine Priests.

Since 1894 the Parish has been entrusted to the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. It was their first foundation in Australia and they have now been responsible for its pastoral care for more than 125 years.
