St Peter Julian’s Church is a Roman Catholic church in the care of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown at 641 George Street, Haymarket.

The church, which was completed in early 1964, is named after the congregation’s founder St Peter Julian Eymard, who was canonised in 1962.

A religious community of priests and brothers (currently under the leadership of Fr Joe Fernando SSS) live in the monastery attached to St Peter Julian’s Church.[1]
