Highlights

An underground Catholic church cut into the sandstone — cool and atmospheric
Completes the trio with the Serbian Orthodox and Catacomb (Anglican) churches

Like several of Coober Pedy’s congregations, the Catholic community built below ground to escape the heat. A quiet, characterful stop on an underground-churches circuit. Please dress respectfully.
