This photograph is pre 1920 as there are certain features that gave me clues like the porch (galilee) and the presbytery. Great photo!

My father was an altar boy there back in the mid 1920s.🥰 I’m visiting there from the USA in a few days and can’t wait!

Keep them coming Peter.Your pics are a good help keeping board interesting.
St Aloysius 'Lady Chapel' was built post ww1 to remember the 88 Aloysius men who were killed WW1.
So postcard is ww1 time or a bit earlier.
