It was built in <strong>1854<\/strong>with a capacity for 1,200 people. At first, it was a modest church, erected in just six months, cruciform in plan and made of stone. Built near the port of Melbourne, it is dedicated to the patron saint of sailors.<\/p>\n<p>The Victorian gold rush caused a population explosion that contributed to the rapid growth of the Catholic community and with it the need to expand the church. In 1871, a new transept was added to accommodate an additional 500 worshippers. Two years later, in 1873, it became a parish church.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the church grew, but the need for a major renovation soon became imperative. In 2002, Rev.
