Details: St. Josephs Church, East Maitland, the oldest Roman Catholic Church in Australia whose history dates back to 1830 was the scene of a farewell service, the last to be held in the old church. On November 30 1830 the late Mr. Frederick Crew of West Maitland arrived by road from West Maitland. As he drove down the hill at East Maitland, on his way from Newcastle, he saw on his right the unfinished walls of a church and on his left on Stockade Hill a gallows. The church was St. Josephs the foundation stone of which was laid by the pioneer priest Father Therry. The building was completed sufficiently in 1835 to permit of the first resident priest Father James Watkins entering on his work in the settlment. He was the first priest to celebrate Mass in the building. He was followed by Father Christopher Vincent Dowling in the following year. Two years Father Dowling proceeded to Newcastle of which he was the first resident priest

Details: Father Christopher Vincent Dowling. Little more than a year after the death of Father Power, Father Christopher Vincent Dowling, an Irish Dominican, arrived in Sydney, and once more the Catholics had an official chaplain. He was not a robust man, though he was but 30 years of age, and Cardinal Moran says he was a man of simple character, who became in some ways a tool of the opponents of Father Therry. It is some satisfaction to know that the older man was more than able to hold his own, and that in consequence of the dissensions the Governor was forced to apply for a priest with superior authority, and this led to the appointment of Dr. Ullathorne. Father Dowling remained at St. Marys for a year, till Father McEnroe arrived to gladden the heart of tho older warrior, and then he was transferred to Windsor, where he was said to be in a bad state of health, about the end of 18;i2. He spent three years, at Windsor, and was then sent to Maitland and north, whence ho. was again transferred to Newcastle in 18:58, when Fathers Mahoney and Lynch arrived. In the Coal City he served for ninny years, and used to say Mass in the upper loft of an old store until the church on the hill was built. At Maitland he had in 1S:!6 a church capable of holding -150 persons, and a school attended by 36 children. The districts for the priests were now becoming smaller. Singleton had its priest, and so had Maitland. Father Dowling, who was still in infirm health, used to attend us far as Port Stephens. In 1837 he had some trouble with the commandant at tho stockade at Harpers Hill, who refused to allow the prisoners to attend Mass on other days than Sunday. It was manifestly impossible for the chaplain to say his regular .Masses and to attend to the two hospitals, with barracks, tho gaol, and the large convict stockade, without dividing up his work. The good offices of Sir Richard Bourke were invoked by Dr. Polding, and the matter was adjusted. After two or three years he obtained an assistant, Father P. Maginnis. Afterwards of Yass, and thus he was enabled to continue his work until the beginning of the sixties
