Our Lady of the Way Catholic Church in 2023
After fifteen years of fund-raising the Our Lady of the Way Catholic Church was blessed and consecrated by Archbishop
James Duhig on 26 February 1950.[8][9] In response to the welcome given, the Archbishop referred to the dairying, cattle raising and timber industries in the district and said that for every tree felled for building purposes, one should be planted.[9] This was consistent with his beliefs that more people should think nationally, rather than locally.[10] The church was built by Malachi Rooney of
Maryborough.[9]
