St Anthony’s Church is located on the Golden Highway at Gungal, which is mid-way between Denman and Merriwa. St Anthony’s sits within a beautiful rural setting that includes sandstone ridges and natural bushland.
St Anthony’s is usually available for special occasions (such as weddings) and seats about 100 people. Regular Church Services are the 3rd the Sunday of the month at 10:30am. The special Christmas Mass is very well attended, and usually packed to capacity. Fortunately the Church has large, level and easily accessible grounds.
St Anthony’s belongs to the Parish of Denman and the Parish Priest is Fr Derek Garner. Thanks to Father Derek for his support.
In 1977 members of the community organised the a Gungal reunion which was held in the church-grounds. In 2011 the special church centenary was held. A small booklet was printed and should be available to read at Merriwa Museum and Muswellbrook Family History Society.
The Church was originally built in 1911 by Gungal’s early parishioners and since then, has remained an integral part of the community. The church was built in a simplified-Gothic style and has been heritage listed by Upper Hunter Shire Council. Read more…
