The local community assisted in the construction of the place. It was openend by Reverend JJ Rafferty, the Bishop of Pharan, on the 18th December 1955. Regular Sunday services were held at the church until May 1976. Since then it has been used for Baptisms of local and ex-local's children. The parish Priest from Bruce Rock still has a Midday Mass on the 5th Sunday of every month.
