St Joseph The Worker - Church

Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph the Worker is based in Sutton in Ashfield.
Parish Priest - Rev Father Frank Higgins

In 1959 work began on the construction of a new church on Forest Street, designed in Romanesque style with a bell tower 71 feet high, and the church was completed in 1961 . It was blessed and opened on October 11th 1961 by Bishop Ellis, and the church was overflowing. The parish had come of age, an era had ended and a new one had begun. It was a remarkable achievement for such a small community, but the building of a parish is a task that never ends.
