Stella Maris – Port Adelaide

Stella Maris – Port Adelaide had its beginning under Father James Tuohy at Saint Joseph’s Orphanage, Largs Bay. The next location was the British Sailors’ Society in Port Adelaide. ​It then moved to the Yongala Street Community Centre at Taperoo. In 2006, Stella Maris moved to our present location.​The Stella Maris Port Adelaide Seafarers Centre (Formerly Apostleship of the Sea) is located at 437 Victoria Rd, Taperoo, South Australia.​ We are a caring and Christian society made up of non-paid volunteers aligned to the Catholic Church, offering pastoral care, services and support for visiting seafarers irrespective of race, colour or creed.
