Comments

The present St Therese's Catholic Church, Renmark building stands on the site of the first Catholic church, St Columba's, erected in 1894/5. However, it was only in 1914 the the parish was officially established. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 16/2/2020.
