The former St John's Pro-Cathedral preceded the current St John's Anglican Cathedral of Brisbane. It was located on what is now Queens Gardens, William Street. It was erected between 1850 and 1854, dedicated on 29/10/1854, and demolished about 1904. Before the St John's Pro-Cathedral, an earlier St John's Anglican Church, Brisbane had also existed "(on the site of current Queen and George Streets - on the western side of Queen Street towards North Quay). This originally was the site of a lumber yard and convict workshop established in 1827...The workshop building was altered in 1842 and used by the Church of England (Anglican) community for a church. After the new St John's Pro-Cathedral opened in 1854, occasional services were still held in this old church...The building was finally demolished circa 1902."

A pro-cathedral is a parish church that temporarily serves as the cathedral or co-cathedral of a diocese.

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. On 10 December 1933, the foundation stone for St Clare’s School was laid. The first building consisted of three classrooms and was opened in 1934. The Good Samaritan Sisters finally closed their doors and departed from Tully in 1995, although our admiration for their contribution to this school, lives on. St Clare’s School is now staffed totally by lay teachers (not a member of a religious order) and ancillary staff. In 2011 Cyclone Yasi caused some damage to the school buildings and grounds of St Clare’s. Repairs were carried out and ongoing refurbishment continues, the most recent of which was last year.
