PERSONAL PROJECT

St Joseph’s Catholic Church

Personal project

St Joseph’s on Boronia Drive was designed by Kevin J. Curtin and finished in 1973. It’s seen as his best building in Canberra, planned around a central sanctuary in line with Vatican II.

An arson attack in 2007 closed the church for nearly two years, and it reopened on 19 March 2009. It was added to the ACT Heritage Register in 2017.
