The Holy Name Church has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • The place has historic and social value for its connection with the Catholic community of Carlisle in the form of pastoral care which has been given for over 100 years; and • The place has aesthetic value for its Late Twentieth-Century Perth Regional architectural style.
Holy Name Church is located along Solar Way and is bounded by the former Holy Name Hall/School and Holy Name Early Learning and Care Centre to the north and east, Fletcher Park to the west and bitumen road to the south. The Church building is constructed of cream coloured face brick and breeze blocks and an asymmetrical terracotta tile mansard roof. There are three large stained glass windows to the north elevation, one of which is concealed externally by horizontal shade louvres. The building addresses the west, toward Fletcher Park and there is gold coloured lettering on this side that reads, ‘Church of the Holy Name’. The building is primarily accessed via a covered walkway to the northern side, adjacent to a bitumen carpark. There are also doors to the southern side; however, they appear to not be in use. The doors and windows to the southern side have amber coloured obscure glass.
The first Catholics came to the Carlisle area in 1896 and in 1899, Victoria Park was established as a parish with Carlisle being one of its outlying Mass stations. Carlisle continued as a Mass station until a Church school was built in 1937. At this time Carlisle became part of the new Belmont Parish. In 1951, Archbishop Prendiville established Carlisle as a separate parish and Fr E. Power became the first paster. A new presbytery was built in 1974 and a new Holy Name Church built in 1975. The builder of the Holy Name Church were Messers Cooper and Oxley Pt Ltd. The Church has been run by a number priests, including Camillian Fathers, for a period from 1963 to 1977.
