Description:
Corrugated iron church of 1903. The parish was taken over by Father J W Milroy in 1924. By this time the iron church was in a state of deterioration due to lack of repais during the war. A new church was then built on the opposite side of the road (St. Joseph's HER 9821). The new church offically opened in 1931.
