St. Clare's Roman Catholic Church, Tully

from State Library of Queensland

  Was this the "High Church Of England" please email me and let me know mrsmelissaannebaker@gmail.com - Thanks!

  Tully was originally part of the Innisfail Parish. The earliest Masses were celebrated in private homes by Reverend Father Clancy OSA. St Clare’s Church was built and opened in 1927, and Tully became a separate parish in 1935. A community of Good Samaritan Sisters arrived in Tully in January 1928 in response to an appeal by Father Clancy and the Catholics of Tully. They opened a school on 3 February 1928 with an enrolment of 35 pupils, but by April this enrolment had risen to 75 pupils. The first classes were held in the church and in an old cottage which was modified for use as a school. Source: www.stclares.qld.edu.au/about-us/our-history/

A Santo bulto and a painting of the Dolorosa in the church, Trampas, New Mexico (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  to suzymillward on the note above: I'm a little confused as to why it only apears to be a few arrows(I couldnt detect any more than, say, 4), but I believe it represents the 7 sorrows or Dolors of Mary Mother of God. The caption says is a painting of the Dolorosa, which I think is translated as "The Way of Suffering". Thats the only thing I could think of. Anybody else have a comment or explanation on this one?

Interior of St Peter's Church of England, Ingham, Queensland, ca. 1900

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Origin of Name William Ingham, who had been educated at Oxford, was only 22 when he arrived in the area and began growing and processing sugar cane. When the town was surveyed in 1875 it was named Ingham after a petition was submitted by the local residents. Ingham died in 1878 when, according to a survivor, he was roasted and eaten by the natives on Brooker Island off the coast of Papua New Guinea. Source: www.aussietowns.com.au/town/ingham-qld
