The St Raphael's Catholic Church, Carrieton is part of the Parish of Flinders (Quorn) and the Diocese of Port Pirie. The Jesuits were the first missionaries who moved to Carrieton. The church building was erected in 1881. A large Presbytery was also built. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 30/7/2025.
