About institution
Institution included through:
St Theresa Primary School and Church - Gwelup
Also known as:
Saint Theresa Church/School
Notes:
St Theresa Church was opened as both church and school, in a sparsely populated area of Lake Gwelup on the outskirts of Perth. The parish priest of Leederville parish had become anxious about the lack of a church and catholic school in this part of his far flung parish. He had a need to care for the young migrant families who had settled there as market farmers.
