Our History
Holy Trinity Lara is one of two centers located in this Parish and is situated in the township of Lara.
Holy Trinity Lara has a long history, starting in 1877 when the original church was opened by Bishop Moorhouse, and consecrated in 1882. A parish hall was built in 1897 for Sunday School.
In 1957 the original church was completed with the dedication of a new sanctuary. The Vicarage was built in 1955 and a New Sunday School (education block) in 1960. On the 8th of January 1969 the Parish Hall and most of the original church were destroyed by a bush fire.
The new Church and Hall were built and consecrated in 1971, after the 1969 Lara fire and a considerable fund raising effort by members of the parish. The Church and Hall are wheelchair accessible with accessible bathroom facilities. The bus stop closest to the church on Curletts Road is serviced by local bus routes 10,11 and 12.
