The Sisters’ first chapel was located in the eastern bay of the
original convent building, which was completed in 1876. This was
later the refectory, and is today classrooms for Kildare Catholic
College.
Once St Eugene’s wing was built— in 1905— the chapel was moved
into this north-eastern corner, with what was known as the Parlour,
the 1892 addition that houses the main staircase for the Boarding
School, used by the Sisters exclusively as their place of worship—
being enclosed, they could not sit in the main body of the chapel.
This second chapel, which was still used for public Sunday Mass up
until the early/mid 1950’s, is today the office of the Boarding School.
On Sunday 12th September, 1915, the new—and current—chapel was
inaugurated. It was built to the designs of W. J. Monks, a local
Wagga Wagga architect, who had also designed the St. Eugene’s
wing, and the St. Agnes Kindergarten extension. St Mary’s School
moved out of the western bay of the 1876 building and into the
under-croft of the chapel.
