Our Lady of Victories :: Camberwell
Welcome
Welcome to the Parish of Our Lady of Victories, Camberwell, and particularly to the beautiful church building for worship. It is one of only five Basilicas in Australia, three of which are in Victoria, one in N.S.W. and one in Western Australia. Ours is known as the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Victories.
This is an exciting year for our parish and for its many friends scattered across the States and Territories of Australia. The reason for this is found in the Foundation Stone at the front of the Basilica.
THE FOUNDATION STONE bears this inscription:
