I've been here many times and it attracts people of all ages from the elderly to young families. It has a massive organ up on the second level at the back of the church which adds to the traditional side. As Kristy said, it is nice to just come in here and sit when there isn't a service on. It's a good place to reflect, think, pray and be with yourself. You can also light the touch candles and pray for someone who may be sick or in need of a prayer.

When I was a kid and we lived at Glenelg we kids would get sent to church every Sunday morning…read more That church was Our Lady of Victories in High Street at Glenelg. Although I certainly didn't appreciate it at the time, I now see that it really is a beautiful old church and one that I still occasionally visit. To give you an idea of the age, apparently the Glenelg Catholic Parish was established back in 1883 and the foundation stone for Our Lady of Victories was laid on October 8, 1926. Construction must have been quick because the official opening was around 13 months later. The photos from the 1920's suggest the opening attracted quite a gathering of press. I love the pillars at the front of the church and can clearly remember running up and down the marble steps at the front entrance. Inside it was always a special day if we managed to score a seat in the upstairs area - it was kind of like we had a out of the ordinary seat for some kind of theatrical performance. I do remember you had to arrive just at the right time because if you got there too early and there were seats downstairs, they made you sit down there. Even though it's literally been years since I've been to a service in High Street, I still like to go in there sometimes to just sit and take in the surroundings. It really is a lovely church and worth a visit if you're searching for a place of worship or if you just appreciate good architecture from a certain era.

Brougham Place Uniting Church is one of Adelaide's oldest churches. Located in North Adelaide on…read morethe corner of Brougham Place and Stanley Street, this church was first opened in 1861. The exterior of the church is very reminiscent of a couple of other significant Adelaide buildings like the Adelaide Town Hall and GPO. This could have something to do with the fact that all were designed by the same architect, Edmund Wright. Walk inside the Brougham Place church and there is a palatable taste of history in the air. The church's very first minister was a man by the name of James Jefferis who created a fair degree of controversy in his day. He preached about a correlation between science, philosophy and traditional church teachings which was pretty radical for his time. Clearly though, this is a church that has moved with the times as evidenced by the fact they have both a male and female minister on staff who are husband and wife. A popular venue for weddings in Adelaide, couples can choose to take advantage of the church's grand piano, pipe organ or for an extra fee can call on the services of the Brougham Place Choir. This is a beautiful Adelaide church and a visit will leave you appreciating the sense of history that has been retained within the church walls.

If you are staying at the Hilton Adelaide or orient yourself with Victoria Square/Central Market area, the church is about a 6 minute, 6 block walk down Grote. While the Catholic Cathedral in Adelaide is under renovation -- masses are being held in St. Patrick. St. Francis Xavier is a grand church. But St. Patrick's is small and beautiful. In the July 2015 time period, masses were held at a variety of times -- including Sat. night vigil mass and an early "no music" mass at 7am (very well done). If you attend mass, the readings etc. are on a nicely done white sheet which you pick up on the way into mass. Church was built in 1912-1914 period. Stations of the cross date to 1914. Stained glass windows are beautiful. Ordinarily hosts Croatian and other specialized language masses. I was glad that I got to attend mass here.

It is an old heritage listed church because of it's age and historical significance in the area. There is a school attached at the rear which no longer acts as a school, but is also part of the original (now) heritage site. It is very popular for weddings, but it does have a real life as an actual church in the area as well. David McCall is the priest and they have a Sunday service each week with a sung Eucharist, which is rather special and enjoyable if you enjoy that sort of thing.

They still sing all of the old hymns and they haven't been corrupted by the "Rick Warren" brainwashing that almost every church has adopted. It's so refreshing to go there and actually feel like you are in a real church rather than walking into the usual circus which almost every church has turned into. We need more churches like this in Adelaide however I fear that the majority of churches nowadays are simply flesh pleasers and they revolve around entertaining people rather than teaching us the true gospel message. Keep up the good work Andrew and praise God that you are still preaching the true word of God !

In fact if you walk by most Saturday afternoons in the warmer months, you're sure to see a bridal party emerge from inside. Sounding quite Scottish with its current name, it was known in the 1970's as the Jetty Road Uniting Church after the amalgamation of the Methodist and Presbyterian churches but the name was changed in the late 90's to its current official name of St Andrew's Uniting Church Off to the side of the church and around the back is St Andrew's Hall which serves a variety of functions in terms of the church's community outreach. St Andrew's Hall is home to the Op Shop on Tuesdays between 10am and 1.30pm. Tuesday evenings between 6pm and 7.30pm, the Hall becomes Mary's Kitchen and serves hearty meals to those in need. On Thursday's between 3.30 and 5.00pm its kids' time and the Hall becomes Andy's Place. The entrance to St Andrew's Hall is through the courtyard on the right hand side of the church. St Andrew's itself is a striking looking church with its façade and belltower overlooking the Jetty Road shopping precinct. Interestingly the cost to build the church back in 1880 was 6,900 pounds. I wonder how much it would cost to build a similar building in today's money.
