Comments

The former St Brendan's Catholic Church, Mount Bryan held its final Mass on 31/7/1994, and the property has now been sold. The church had been part of the Parish of Jamestown and the Diocese of Port Pirie. The church building was opened on 25/10/1925 by the Rt Rev Dr A Killian, Bishop of Port Augusta. Prior to the erection/opening of the church building, Mass had for some years been celebrated in the Mount Bryan Hall. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/3/2024.
