Our Lady of Pompeii Church is a state heritage-listed Catholic church in Yoogali, a village of Griffith. It was designed by Antonio Ceccato and built from 1939 to 1940 by Ceccato and members of the Italian community.
The Italian community built the church so they could practice the Catholic religion in their own cultural form. Modelled on a church in the village of Cavaso del Tomba in Veneto province of Treviso, it was an expression of the growing confidence and permanency of the Italian community. The church was completed in April 1940, dedicated to 'Our Lady of Pompeii', the patroness of Italians in foreign lands.
Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii Church is listed on the NSW State Heritage Register.
Weekly Church Services are offered on Fridays at 9.30am and Sunday at 10am.
