The Regina Caeli, a beacon of faith in the Camp Hill district of Brisbane, is not just a church; it is a testament to the enduring spirit of a community. It stands proudly on Waverley Road, a comforting presence that has witnessed the ebb and flow of life for over seven decades. Built in 1953, the church was established as a place of worship for the growing Catholic community in the area. The first parish priest, Father Cyril Shand, played a pivotal role in shaping the parish’s early years. He, along with Archbishop Duhig, oversaw the dedication ceremony in 1954. The Regina Caeli has seen many changes and expansions over the years. It has been a constant in the community, offering solace and spiritual guidance for generations. Even today, the church remains a vibrant centre of faith, welcoming people from all walks of life.
