St Mary's Catholic Church established 4 January 1846.
The Church of 'Our Lady Help of Christians', better known as St Mary's, is the oldest Catholic church in South Australia still in use. The Morphett Vale Pioneer Cemetery is the final resting place of many of the area's pioneers. Its earliest grave stone dates back to 1840. One of Morphett Vale's early parish priests, Fr Michael O'Brien, is buried near the front of the church.
It was in this church that the excommunication of (Blessed) Mary MacKillop was lifted in 1872.
