A Mission to Evangelise: The Heidelberg Mission and St John the Evangelist

by Kevin Andrews

The first census in 1836 of the region we now know as Victoria, revealed fourteen Catholics in the small village on the Yarra, who were meeting to say the Rosary in a cottage. Within three years a temporary Catholic Church had been built, being replaced by the original St Francis church in 1841. As Melbourne expanded, the Church established 'Missions' in the outlying rural areas of the new settlement, first at Coburg and then at Heidelberg in 1848.
