St Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church History
In 1835, Reverend Corcoran was appointed the first priest at Windsor. Part of his parish included Penrith. Two years later Reverend Corcoran was killed in a road accident and Archbishop Polding appointed Reverend John Brady as his successor.
In 1838, Fr Brady judged it opportune to erect a small chapel in the growing settlement of Penrith. John Tindale of Hornseywood farm gave a block of land to Archbishop Polding, not far from the site he had also provided for St Stephen's Anglican Church, near the centre of the settlement.
The foundation stone of the first St Nicholas Church was laid by Archbishop Polding on 9 December, 1839. The first priest in Penrith was Reverend Charles Sumner. A few days after the laying of the foundation stone a small cemetary was consecrated by Archbishop Polding in which three of Penrith's pioneering priests would be buried. Fr Michael Brennan, who died in 1864; Fr Patrick O'Mahony, who died in 1885 and more recently, Fr John Grady, who died in 1984.
The first St Nicholas' Church was consecrated by Archbishop Polding on 13 November, 1850. Funds to build this church came, not only from the Catholic parishioners of Penrith, but from many other faiths and denominations. Before either of the two presbyteries were built, the Priests stayed with Catholic families, such as the McCarthy's at their farm at Cranebrook.
Not much is known about the first presbytery only that it was replaced by the present building about the time of the laying of the foundation stone dated 7 February, 1932. On 27 November 1932, Archbishop Kelly returned for the opening of the new presbytery.
