St Brigid's Catholic Church will celebrate 150 years this year, with a number of activities planned throughout the year.

The actual date of the church's construction is a little fluid, but a barbecue was held earlier this year to commence the many celebrations.

St Brigid's Parish Priest, Father Greg, arrived six weeks ago, but had previously been parish priest between 1991 and 1994.

He said 150 years is a big landmark to achieve.

"It's a big milestone," he said.

Father Greg hopes the celebrations give St Brigid's students and the community a sense of history.

The next celebrations for the sesquicentenary will begin on Friday, May 1 from 6pm at St Brigid's with a Violins, Vespers and Vino event.
