Comments

The former St John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Taradale held its final Mass in 1956, and was deconsecrated in 1972 before the property was sold. The church building was erected/opened about 1870, using bricks which had been used as ships ballast. It was consecrated on 23 November 1890 by the Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr Thomas Carr. A school also operated on this site until 1910. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 11/6/2022.
