Summary

St. John's Church - building on extreme left is Girl's Reformatory. According to a researcher, this was the first Catholic Church in the area. The foundation stone was laid in 1850 and it was officially opened in 1854. It was demolished in 1946. After the St. Rose's Church was built in Kapunda, St. John's was used as a school and then in 1897, under the supervision of Mary MacKillop, was made into a girls' reformatory which was operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph until 1909. The church was built on twenty acres of Glebe land given by the Government for church use in 1849.
