The Church was completed in April 1872. In 1874 the site saw the addition of a school building thanks to support from the parishioners. The building was soon replaced with the one which stands today in 1978 when the old construction was found to be too small to accommodate those who attended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visited with Donna to have a look at this one, it is pretty bare inside but has some nice features and not too much vandalism considering its location. Enjoy the photos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
