Designed by B.W. Mountfort, the architect behind many of the city's ecclesiastical buildings, this magnificent Gothic Revival church was built in 1908 to replace the original wooden church. Although the outer walls are of black Halswell stone, the interior is clad in rich red brick finished with white Oamaru limestone; the change from stone to brick is striking. A lofty open-timbered roof soars overhead, supported by stout brick piers. A painting of the Ascension hangs above the altar, and a statue of Our Lady, carved in Italy, adorns the Side Chapel.
