History

edit

The land for the church was purchased from John Alexander Voules Brown. The foundation stone was laid on 16 December 1854 by Lady Fox Young[2] with Archbishop Augustus Short conducting the service.[3]

For the first ten years of its existence, St Jude's was served by the incumbent of St Mary's on the Sturt, who also had responsibility for Christ Church, O'Halloran Hill.

On 24 December 1948 the St Jude's Players had their beginning.

The church was seriously damaged in the 1954 Adelaide earthquake.[4]
