Maryknoll is a town in Victoria, Australia, 61 km south-east of Melbourne's central business district. Its local government area is the Shire of Cardinia. At the 2011 Census, Maryknoll had a population of 546.〔 Maryknoll lies adjacent to Bunyip State Park, and is one of the youngest towns established in the Shire of Cardinia. ==History== Father Pooley of the Catholic Church envisaged a new religious intentional community in West Gippsland where residents could live rural lifestyles ideal for the raising of families and practice of the Catholic faith. The name Maryknoll replaced the original name of St Mary's in 1955, and the Maryknoll Post Office opened on 3 October 1955. The original settlement consisted of about 30 families. By the mid-1980s, the Maryknoll cooperative society formally closed, allowing non-Catholic residents to purchase land. Father Wilfrid Pooley was a helping founder of Maryknoll. He was the leader of the plans and lived in Maryknoll for quite some time with a friend of his, Patrick Noonan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maryknoll, Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
