| Description | The Mission was established in 1870 but the parish was not founded until 1921. The foundation stone was laid in 1939.
Building work was held up because of dispute as to how close to the road the Church could be; and for many years the end of the church was covered in corrugated iron. Eventually the church was finished in the early 1960s and finally consecrated in 2004. |
