THE PATRON SAINT<br />

ST ANTHONY IN<br />
WANNEROO<br />

Main Showcase<br />
Wanneroo Regional Museum, WLCC<br />
In 1932, a new church for Wanneroo<br />
was dedicated to St Anthony, the<br />
Patron Saint of Lost Things at the<br />
proposal of Antonino Crisafulli.<br />
St Anthony’s Church went on to be<br />
an important spiritual, community and<br />
educational facility for the Catholic<br />
community of Wanneroo.<br />
Learn about the history of this lost and<br />
found again institution through this<br />
display of historical images and objects.<br />
Between 1914 and 1918, 23 members<br />
of the Wanneroo community served in<br />
the ‘War to End All Wars’.<br />
In the 100th anniversary year of the<br />
end of the global conflict that scarred<br />
the beginning of the 20th century, we<br />
remember those who served.<br />
Some lost their lives and some<br />
returned to home, with loved ones<br />
forever changed by the experience.<br />
This exhibition honours all those who<br />
went to war.<br />

YOU HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE SOMEWHERE<br />
For thousands of years maps have been used to represent the world<br />
in two dimensions in order to help determine the edge of coasts,<br />
borders of countries and boundaries of properties.<br />
The modern precise measurement of these has been the<br />
job of the surveyor. Learn more through this display of<br />
surveying equipment and maps from the Museum collection.<br />
From 12 January | Main Showcase,<br />
