The History of Saint Mary's Parish

 

Saint Mary’s Parish was founded the same year the Parish Church was opened – 1842.

 

We have a long and interesting history and the story of our parish will be added to in the coming months – you can download a pdf format history here.  This is a general story of our history.  Other more specific articles will be added as we are able to do so.
