★☆☆☆☆“Sadly this church has gone a bit backwards since the departure of the lovely Fr. Hayes in 2023. New Priest seems to want to make Mass really long!! As a well seasoned Catholic the whole emphasis has been to condense the word of God however we now have someone who wants to make Mass excruciatingly looooong, boring and too serious!! Was disappointed at Christmas (2025) that there was not sufficient seating provided for attendees and yet there was plenty of “reserved seating” up the top for the exceptionally holy people/? Old Toorak VIP’s (who failed to attend-so we all just had sense and took their places instead-all equal in God’s eyes right??!!) Christmas Eve sermon was painful, loooooooooong and pointless…Ridiculous actually… Kids left feeling they had gone to the wrong church/ place of worship and may have been more welcome at a different denomination there was so little Christian emphasis. Sadly I will have to seek an alternative place of worship unless St. Peter’s finds its way again. Very very sad but the current status quo is not sustainable or reasonable. I also agree with other users… why the inverted crosses everywhere? Satanic vibes? Please explain…”

★★★★★“Beautiful church. Stunning stain glass windows. And bells! I was there for a wedding. Can sit maybe be 100 or so people? The garden was lovely and we took lots of photos there. Small carpark but street parking available on the weekend. Limited toilet facilities.”

★★★★★“Beautiful Catholics Church with fantastic, friendly and professional staff. Father Hayes is the highlight of the community and Madeleine helps everything along the way in the parish.”
