St Kilda Families: Memorials in Christ Church
This book, published in 2020, tells much of the story of our historic church which dates from 1857. The beautiful stained glass, gold leaf decorated chancel and numerous memorials reflect the history of the early colony and its leading citizens.
​
The St Michael chapel features a superb memorial to those who fell in the great war. The author, Jenny O’Donnell, has brilliantly and touchingly recorded the stories of these men and women.
​
The book has 220 biographies and 120 pictures. It is available from the church at $40 (postage extra).

Christ Church Mission’s Community Centre (St Kilda’s Little Mission) is committed to creating an environment which is welcoming, inclusive and supportive for the diverse range of people and groups in our local community.
Recognising that poverty of resources and poverty of relationships can lead to social exclusion, the Centre offers opportunities for social interaction and personal growth, particularly through our weekly free community meal, emergency support, volunteering opportunities, engagement in free or low-cost activities, and community outreach.
History and restoration
The foundation stone for Christ Church was laid on 29 November 1854.
It is believed to be the oldest public building this side of the Yarra.
