Welcome to St Patrick's Basilica!
Since 1894, St Patrick’s Basilica has been the home of Fremantle’s Catholic community, and has played a significant role in the development of a small port city into the bustling and vibrant town it is today.
Now, more than 125 years since the first Oblate priests arrived in Fremantle, the Basilica continues to support the Fremantle community in its continued growth and development.
Led by Parish Priest Father Meno Basti OMI, a team of dedicated Priests, Brothers, Sisters and parishioners work across the Fremantle area to provide compassion, support and comfort to all, regardless of faith.
