Comments
The Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Robertstown is part of the Eudunda Robertstown Lutheran Parish and the Lutheran District of SA-NT and a member of the Lutheran Church of Australia. The present church building was opened as St Martin's, but changed its name to Holy Cross when it amalgamated with the Salem congregation in 1966. The congregation was formed on 7/2/1954 by members of Lower Bright, whose church St Martin's closed in January 1954. Initially the congregation used the Robertstown Zion church building. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 29/10/2024.
