It is such a lovely clear photo of this lovely wee church, the earlist I have seen. There has been a porch added to the front - does anyone know when that was built? The foundation stone was laid on 23 December 1951, and the church was opened on 22 June 1952.

I took a photo inside thr church many years ago of Franz Josef glacier, when you could see thr glacier through thr window

Arlene Hutcheon wrong church... you are thinking of the Anglican one.

Lots of confusion on this post between the Catholic and Anglican churches. The Catholic church as pictured at the top of this post is tucked in the bush. The Anglican church with the view etc is much more recent... 1950s
