Sevenhill, in the Mid North of South Australia, was the birthplace of the Jesuits in Australia after they arrived in Adelaide as chaplains to a group of Austrians
that fled Europe to escape political and religious oppression. The immigrants settled near the township of Clare and the Jesuits purchased 100 acres of land
in 1851, naming it Sevenhill after the Seven Hill district of Rome.
St Aloysius Church has served the Parish of Sevenhill since its completion in 1875.
