St. Wilfrid's Church, Torrens Park 1934-2002
Saint Wilfrid's Church was secularised on 22 February 2004.
The building has been sold, and is now a private home.
Funds from the sale have been invested
in the St Wilfrid Ministry Fund
to support ministry and outreach in the parish of Mitcham
and in the diocese of Adelaide.
The Lashmar memorial window (see below) has been installed in the parish hall
and other memorials have been relocated to the parish church
and other churches.
