Comments
The St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Roma began in the late 1800s.
In 1878 the Roma Presbyterians were meeting in the Roma Congregational Church and some time later services were being held in the Town Hall. In 1881 the Rev James Lawrie was inducted as minister of the Roma Presbyterian Church and in the same year the new church building was opened by the Rev J F McSwaine, Moderator of the Assembly. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 15/10/2017 7/11/2020.
