Description: St Brigid's Church, Rosewood, 1910 St Brigid's Catholic Church, Matthew Street Rosewood, (in the Ipswich district of Queensland), was blessed and dedicated by Archbishop Duhig while he was Bishop of Rockhampton. (Description supplied with photograph) In this image, a well-dressed crowd is assembled in front of the church. Various buggies and other carriages are stationed around the grounds. This large elaborate wooden church was built in 1909-1910 and replaced an earlier, smaller St Brigid's Church. It was designed by Reverend A Horan of the Ipswich parish and built under the supervision of builder and contractor, RJ Murphy. The foundations of the second church were blessed on 13 December 1908 and the building was opened on 13 February 1910 by Bishop Duhig. Rosewood was the first country place in which, as a priest, Bishop Duhig had celebrated Mass.
