| Description : |
Julian Tenison-Woods commissioned the building of the Robe Catholic Church in 1859, although Father O'Connor was responsible for the church being built. Along with the churches at Morphett Vale and Penola, it is one of the three oldest Catholic churches in South Australia. From the 1870s to the 1880s the present sacristy was a convent used by the Josephite nuns, and Mary MacKillop taught for a time in the church-run school. The building is of local sandstone. It was extensively renovated in 1977. |
