Talk:St Thomas Aquinas Church, Springwood

Untitled

This page is in need of some corrections, and added information. That is, the article is somewhat misleading due to lack of information, although I am certain this was not the intention of the author. It comes across more or less that the Springwood Catholic Church was based at the St Columbas site. Rather, the Springwood Catholic Church refers more closely to a number of buildings, including the home of a family that were used by the early catholic congregation of that part of the lower Blue Mountains. The article fails to point out that the Springwood Catholic Church no longer exists, which could cause some confusion between it, and the St Thomas Aquinas Church in Springwood (which has also changed sites from Rest Park, Macquarie Rd, to the corner of Hawkesbury Rd and Macquarie Rd, then to its current site on Hawksbury Rd). Further work is definitely needed, I'm not sure if I have the time at the moment so if anyone else wants to do the research please do, otherwise I will hopefully get around to it soon.

Oh yeah, I better start work on this article too! Tinkstar1985 11:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Called St Thomas Aquinas not springwood catholic church

I'm still researching its history, but as the church is not currently called Springwood Catholic Church, nor has it been called that for the past 20 years (possibly the past 100 years). Please do not start or edit an article using assumptions or oppinions, only facts with reliable sources to back them up please! Tinkstar1985 11:21, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Move needed, but what to rename article!

I realise I need to move and rename this article, but I'm not sure what to title would be best. St Thomas Aquinas Church (Springwood) OR St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church (Springwood)? Tinkstar1985 12:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Priests Past and Present

I don't think this is a complete list. I am sure that there are a handful of names missing from this list, particularly between Rev Michael McGloin and Rev Peter Connelly, as well as further back in the history. Any help would be much appreciated Tinkstar1985 14:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Architecture

I would like to include some information about the architecture of

• The old church on the corner of Macquarie and Hawksbury Rds
• The former church (now St Columba's library I believe)
• The current church on Hawksbury Rd

I think this information would be best gathered by a local who will have easier access to the information. Tinkstar1985 03:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

citations

Yes, i will be getting around to adding proper numbered refs. I haven't done it up to this point as the article was quite short (not that its long now) with very few refs anyway - now its growing I guess I better do something about it. Tinkstar1985 06:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
