Legacy

St. Patrick's Cathedral, Melbourne was his largest accomplishment, but there are many other markers to Carr's lasting contributions, including the parish of Werribee, Victoria, which he established in 1906. In the south-western Melbourne suburb of Tarneit, Thomas Carr College is named in his honour.
