St Aloysius' Church
Sevenhill
St Aloysius' Church is owned and operated by the Society of Jesus. The church has served the Parish of Sevenhill since its completion in 1875. A Vigil Mass is offered at St Aloysius' each Saturday at 6pm. Saturday morning Mass is offered at 8am.
​
A magnificent example of Gothic Revival architecture, the historic church is a striking building set among the vines and gardens of Sevenhill Cellars. Built from local stone, it features a slate roof, Mintaro slate floors, exquisite stained-glass windows and a painting of the Madonna presented to the Jesuits by King Ludwig II of Bavaria in 1848. The southern transept and front steps are recent additions.
​
The crypt, whose entrance is outside the church on the northern side, is unique for a parish church in Australia. The crypt is the final resting place for 42 Jesuits. Since 1901, only those who died at Sevenhill, or lived for a significant period of time at Sevenhill, have been buried in the crypt.
