The college has an historical display that will be open to all members of the college and wider community throughout 2017.
Bishop Matthew Quinn was warmly welcomed into Bathurst in November 1866 as the first Bishop of the Catholic Diocese. Less than two months later, in January 1867, he established St Stanislaus’ College with an enrolment of day students and boarding students who were housed in George Street.
Six years later, the college moved to its present site where the first building had already been completed.
The first Vincentians arrived in 1889 and assumed responsibility for the college, a responsibility they have carried ever since.
St Stanislaus’ College is the only Vincentian School in Australia.
Everyone is welcome to attend the mass and Family Day.
