St Ignatius Roman Catholic Church is the oldest documented building in Bourke, opening in April 1874.[2]
The wrought iron St Ignatius Convent building was built in 1896.[3]
In 2015, the convent and church received $150,000 in state government funding to return the convent to its 1924 state, remove inappropriate additions and balcony infill, and repair deteriorating woodwork, while weatherproofing both church and convent.[4]
