The two churches were supplied to Father W. K. Glover of the parish of Esperance in the Bunbury Diocese. One went to Coomalbridgup and one to Condingup. Each building is 48ft. long by 14ft. wide, complete with sacristy and confessional. The construction is timber frame, sheeted externally with flat asbestos, lined internally with termite-proofed hardboard and an insulated truss roof with ventilated • • THESE TWO PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW TWO TRANSPORTABLE CHURCHES READY TO eaves was employed.

Apart from the churches the Australian Lumber Company also supplied Father Glover with a two-bedroomed home which has been delivered and placed alongside the presbytery at Esperance. The basic design of the churches was arrived at from the broad outline which was given to the Design Department of the Australian Lumber Co. Pty. Ltd. by Father Glover following his visit to their Royal Show Exhibit and Melville production area. The churches have been constructed in such a way that they can be relocated again should the needs of the parish so dictate.
The order, signed by the Joint Secretary of the Home Ministry, Mr. Agrai,val, and dated January 17, stipulates that the priest must leave "via Calcutta, never to return" within one month of receiving the notice. No reasons were given for the order. The 40-year-old Jesuit, a native of Essendon, Melbourne, went to India in February, 1957.
