Comments

The former St Mary's Catholic Church, Bordertown has closed and the property is now privately owned. It was was part of the Parish of Bordertown and the Diocese of Adelaide. The earliest Catholic Masses held in Bordertown were celebrated in the Woolshed Inn about 1881. This former church was opened about 1884/5. A new church building was erected at 102 Victoria Parade and opened in 1969 (see separate entry - 5268), the former one being used as a church hall for some time after the new one was opened. This property was sold about 2004. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former  church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 31/12/2022.
