History:
This Church was built in the Thomas Gamble Township in 1978/79 to replace the Church of St Gabriel's. The Revd Cyril Mueller led the people's campaign to plan and finance the new Church which was dedicated on 29 April 1979. At that time St Simon of Cyrene was a Chapelry of St Katharine's, but in 1983 they became a Parish in their own right.
