The first St. Dunstan's Roman Catholic church was built on Percy Street ca. 1898. The original Catholic Mission opened ca. 1895 using a private house. Before the mission was established Roman Catholics were admitted to worship in the Chapel of St. Dunstan at the Inkerman Barracks.

This church was closed in 2008 when the new church opened. The church of Our Lady Mother of God, Kingfield, opened in 1962 as a Chapel of EaseA daughter church within an ecclesiastical Parish, or a chapel in an outlying area of the parish that is more convenient for parishioners to attend to St. Dunstan. This church closed in 2006 in anticipation of the new St. Dunstan being opened.
