This collection of caches is based on the Church Micro series in the UK, which has over 12,000 caches. Given that Adelaide is affectionately known as the City of Churches it seems appropriate to have a small series hidden at historical churches.

A strong Irish Catholic community grew up in Marion Village as large numbers of immigrants, escaping the famine in their country, began arriving in South Australia in the 1850s. There was cooperation between Methodists and Catholic families as demonstrated by a donation of bricks by Henry Shearing for the quoins of the church. St Ann’s Church was restored in the early 1970s, including stained glass windows made by South Australian artist Cedar Prest. Annie Doolan became the caretaker and cleaner of St Ann’s Church. Annie, her mother Catherine and brother Martin, received accommodation in the Cottage which is located behind the chapel. *ABC Adelaide/Marion Council. The chapel has now become a funeral home, known as Chapel on Finniss
