Historical information

The land on which the church was built was donated by 'Patrick Mcnamara who was widely known in the Sevenhill district for his generous benefactions to the Jesuit Fathers in those early days of the Church in S.A. Later, at Undalya he provided the land and assisted the Jesuit Fathers to build the first church in that district' (from the obituary of his daughter Elizabeth O'Doherty). The architect was Michael McMullen (referenced in the book 'Saddleworth : Hub of the Wheel'). [Information provided by Chris Gill.] According to another researcher, the fact is that the NW corner, about 1 acre between the old main road through Undalya and the present road was given to the Church for the purpose of building a local church for the community by Stephen Donnely as part of his property of Sect 125, Hund. of Saddleworth on 10 June 1863. Patrick McNamara, a brother-in-law, was a witness. See Memorial 198 (Bk 187)held in the old Lands Office (pre-Torrens title). Stephen was the eldest son of James Donnelly (1799-1857)who arrived on the ship 'Mary Dugdale'. His eldest daughter Mary married the gentleman Patrick McNamara.
