St Thomas’ in North Sydney is one of the biggest churches in the city’s North Shore; located at the corner of McLaren & Church Streets and close to the CBD. This location makes it easily accessible for both locals and visitors in the area.
The church traces its history back to 1846 when the first church constructed on location was just referred to as St. Thomas. This name was then changed to St Leonard’s before its official opening. In the years that followed, a larger church was designed and opened to worshippers in 1884.
