Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | St Patrick's, the little white weather board wooden church, at Burkes Pass on State Highway 8 between Kimbell and Tekapo was built in 1871-72 by combined Anglican, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic efforts. Plans were drawn up by W. Wilson and Dugald Macfarlane contributed the gift of his skillful wood carving. It was the first church built north of Pleasant Point. There is no record of Catholic services begin held here or why it was given the name St Patrick but maybe it was called St Patrick's because the Rev. George Barclay was an Irishman, born 1835 or 1836. It was the first "Union Church" in New Zealand but finally passed to the Presbyterians. |
