CHURCHES

ST PETERS CHURCH OF ENGLAND

Address: Grey & Cobram Streets Jamieson VIC 3723

Phone/Facsimile: 03 5775 2036

Surrounded by 100 year oaks, sycamores and pines, this beautiful old church was dedicated in 1865. The main structure was built of local handmade bricks with a shingle roof that is now covered with galvanised iron for protection. The porch and vestry were added at a later date. Services are held on the first and third Sunday of the month, and visitors from other denominations are most welcome. Check on the noticeboard outside the hall for special events. The great photographic and aesthetic qualities of the church make it the ideal venue for weddings

ST JOHN THE APOSTLE CATHOLIC CHURCH

Address: Cnr Perkins & Nash Streets, Jamieson VIC 3723

Phone: 03 5775 2005 Fax 03 5775 1677

The current church was built in 1899 replacing the wooden church of 1864. Two Jubilee 2000 plaques, with the word Jubilee incorrectly spelt, record the church's history and the dedication of a Memorial tree to all Jamieson Pioneers. Nowadays only a handfull of locals and weekenders attend Sunday Mass. But number increase considerably at Christmas and Easter.

They enjoy guitar music from retired Principal, Genevieve Bolwell, the locally crafted mosaic of John the Apostle, fabulous flowers from parishioners' gardens, and the familiarity of a small community at prayer. Shrubs and trees crowd the church garden.

Church and Courthouse Hotel across the road share a common congregation on Sundays.
