St Patrick's Catholic Church, Rokewood is located on the north-east corner of the Rokewood Skipton (Ferrer or Ferrar's) Road and the Colac-Ballarat Road, immediately west of the Kuruc-a-ruc Creek and the township of Rokewood. The church dates from 1927 when Rev. H. O'Kane was the parish priest. Its conservative Gothic Revival style and its combination of red brick and cement render are typical of the period. No architect or builder has been associated with the design and construction. The present church may have replaced an earlier building when Fr. Barrett, who was based in Scarsdale, was the parish priest for twenty-five years. The church appears to be unaltered since its construction and remains in good condition. The Pinus radiata (Monterey or Radiata Pines) and Eucalypts support the church aesthetically. The church continues to be used as part of the Sebastopol (Ballarat) Parish.
