The Diocesan Archives is a repository, research centre and museum of church artefacts relevant to the history of the Toowoomba Diocese. The Archives serves the wider community as a source not only of church and ‘family’ history, but of local and national historical sources for research. It has become a valued part of the Toowoomba historical source network.
Office open Wednesday and Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm

Join us for a walk around the CBD stopping at various stations. Each stop is a ‘station’ and we will pause, read a reflection and pray. The reflections will help us be in solidarity with some of the many injustices in our world. Please wear walking shoes, and if the weather is inclement, suitable clothing and umbrellas. You may also wish to bring a water bottle for your own comfort.
