Our Lady Star of the Sea & St Joseph

The foundation stone of Our Lady Star of the Sea & St Joseph was laid in August 1888. The church is a significant landmark in Seacombe and early photographs show a large vaulted exterior, with simple interior decoration. As the parish community grew, the interior was transformed with the installation of a magnificent marble altar and surrounding panelling, above the altar, stained glass windows depict the life of Jesus Christ in glorious colour and commemorative glass windows throughout the church are dedicated to the families and societies who formed this parish.

Two beautiful life size statues of Our Lady and St Joseph stand either side of the high altar and the two side altars are dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes and the Sacred Heart. The church is home to a large 2 manual pipe organ which is fully maintained and played regularly at Sunday mass and celebrations.

In 2006 the church was re-ordered and the installation of a meeting room, kitchen facilities and toilets have brought a new dimension to the community activities were all are made welcome at 'The Joey's.
