Annunciation Church Artwork

This image of the inside of Annunciation Church in the early 2000’s, after the renovation of the Sanctuary, shows the richness of the original wood panelling on the ceiling, which later needed repairing and was subsequently painted white. The Crucifix is all that remains of the Crucifixion scene which was attached to the wall when the church was built. The four figures at the foot of the cross, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and John, were removed during the renovation. Glimpses of the positioning of the Stations of the Cross can be seen along the side walls.

Stations of the Cross

Ieva Pocius (1923-2010) was commissioned by the Hectorville Parish Priest, Fr Louis Michael Travers, to design and sculpt the Stations of Cross for the third Annunciation church, which was built at 20 Montacute Road, Hectorville, and opened in December 1962.
