About the church
21 Coral Street (corner of Coral and Oak Streets - see in a map). Fundraising was conducted from 1933 to build a church. It was designed by architect Mr. Vibert McKirdy Brown of Cairns, who also designed Atherton’s St Joseph Church, many of the hospital buildings there in the 1920-30s, the Tinaroo Shire Council Chambers (1928) and Grand Hotel (1933), Mareeba’s St Thomas of Villanova Church (1937) and Fire Station (1939), and Ravenshoe original St Teresa’s Church (1937). St Rita’s was built by Mr. A. Simpson, also of Cairns, and blessed and opened by Bishop John Heavey on Sunday 26 Sep 1937. It was later extended.
