Comments
The Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Mintaro is part of the Sevenhill Parish and the Archdiocese of Adelaide. The parish is under the care of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). Early Mass services were celebrated in private homes. Land for a church building was donated by Mr Peter Brady on 24/4/1855, with a church building being opened and blessed on 23/11/1856 by Bishop Murphy. This was the first Jesuit Church in Australia, and the first to be given the title Church of the Immaculate Conception in Australia. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 9/2/2024.
