Christ Church Yankalilla with Shrine of Our Lady of Yankalilla — Local services in Yankalilla

So much controversy has been stirred up about a charming congregation who had the misfortune to have an (appropriately named it seems) minister of religion called Father Nutter. A damp plaster mark appeared in the old wall which has been surrounded by a metal kind of spiky artifice, reminiscent of an uncomfortable horse collar. My heart goes out to the sincere believers and members and now the many former members of that small congregation. They were made to look a pack of loonies by a man named Nutter. How sad for a bunch of really nice people who were minding their own business and had a sudden deluge of publicity from every crackpot and nut job with nothing to do on a weekend but go and goggle at a media whipped sensation. Even the Atheists had to weigh in . It would be hilarious if it wasn't so very sad. Mary was a carrier of Christ and not related in any way. Why God would suddenly appear in the plaster of a nearly forgotten chapel when there are so many greater needs in the world to me beggars belief. It's nice to think that some may feel closer to God, but they could have done that at home. God is omniscient to those who believe. That means he does Home Delivery. You dont need to rush to Yankallilla to goggle at some proof of Him. Although the proceeds from your purchases may go some way toward defraying the cost of the new sewerage system the council has had to install at exorbitant cost. Yet again, the need for the system may have been caused by the crush of tourists needing to come , gawk, eat and poo nearby. Do the church and yourselves a favour and stay away. They are nice ppl and deserve a break. And father Nutter has shoved off , changing his name to the french spelling of Notre last I heard in the Advertiser. You won't even have the fun of referring to 'the old Nutter'. Notre doesn't have the same...

I saw Our Lady of Yankalilla very obviously because Father Nutter, and Judy also were able to see it very clearly and when my eyes adjusted also could see Our Lady there on the wall. Us who saw that decades ago were extremely lucky. She really was there however, apparently she is not there anymore. I am at PO Box 1092, Castlemaine, Vic. 3450.

It was a great experience to our family. I heard about this place from my friends. I was a strong believer of Mother Mary and decided to visit Yankalilla with my close friends and family. I thought it was a big church and environment but while we entered into the church, we got a special feeling of peace and felt Mother Mary's presence. We were in a very pathetic situation that time and our mother mary sorted out our each and every needs, still doing. After that we recommended this place to many others and those who went there got miraculous changes in their life. Mother Mary Pray for us Monsi...
