The church is on the Register of the National Estate & the NSW Government's Heritage Office (visit link) describes its history as:

A large sandstone church of fine decoration and detail which incorporates sections of the original church built in 1857. This was blessed by Archbishop Polding and later substantially extended in 1873. The design of the major part has been attributed to Architect Edward Gell. The design is Gothic Revival externally while the interior is influenced by the Byzantine style. The interior is distinguished by a magnificent high altar, stencilled decorations to the walls and a fine iron fence dividing the nave and sanctuary. Within the tall buttressed tower was placed the peal of bells in 1903 and an octagonal steeple was built in 1911.

It continues to serve its parishioners to this day.
