* Father Santosh wishes for the Adelaide Urbex community to spread the word that the premises are NOT AVAIALBLE for exploring. They would also like help in raising the funds to paint the building.
This is one of a handful of two storey buildings in the area of Hindmarsh from when the area was developed in 1836. Next to this is the Hindmarsh Institute which was the center of the towns community activities in it's Hall.
The 1916 architects were Messrs Woods, Bagot, Jory & Laybourne Smith. Originally known as MSC - Missionaries of the Sacred Heart Presbytery this building has been in use since it was completed, the heart of church administration and residence for the priests. The Church next to it was built in 1924 and known as St. Saviour's Church Hindmarsh. In 1950 St Saviour’s Church Hindmarsh was renamed and dedicated as Sacred Heart Church.
MSC leadership of the Parish, which was given to the MSCs in 1914, however was handed back to the Archdiocese of Adelaide in 2019 due to aging and dwelling resources.
The renovations include of elevator, partitioned walls, changing of doorways and walls, and so much more, check the video out to see first hand what is happening to bring this building into service for the 21st century and beyond.
