Statement of Significance
Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church has considerable social significance for its association with religion in the Coorow community.
Physical Description
A small rectangular brick church. A path leads to timber double entry doors with a statue of Our Lady Mary set above and enhanced by an arched brica surround. The south elevation has four large and two small stained glass windows, the north elevation has four large windows and a double entry door. Brick buttresses are evident between the windows along the north and south elevations. The corners of the building below the roof have stepped brickwork.
History
Foundation stone to the front (west) of the building indicates that it was consecrated in 1955 by the Bishop of Geraldton, A.J. Gummer. This was the first church built in the Coorow shire on three acres of land donated by B.A., R.B. and L.D. Bothe. The cost of the building was met by donations of wheat and money by the parishioners.
