I have a book about it, called "Jeppe Jubilee", and once knew a priest who had been the parish priest there (he's dead now). The area around the church has become more commercial/industrial, so not many people living around the church these days -- all moved out to the suburbs. By before 1925 or so the church would have been in the Diocese of Pretoria, the Diocese of Johannesburg was formed about 1924/25, and has been further sub-divided since. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [email protected] Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Fax: 086-548-2525
