Speciality:
"Our Lady, Help of Christians is designed in the Gothic Revival style and is the first Roman Catholic church built after the Reformation. A mission was established in the town in 1845 by Fr. S. Ward. During the 1880s, the mission was served from St. Joseph's Church in Bedford, which catered to a congregation of 180 people. On January 20, 1884, the mission was dedicated to Mary Help of Christians, with its first Mass celebrated by Fr. Joseph A. O'Connor. Later, in the 1880s, an iron church was constructed to accommodate the growing congregation. They are a lively and active parish with over 70 nationalities. Their Lady, Help of Christians offers three Sunday Masses at 9:30 am, 11:30 am, and 5:00 pm, and a weekday Mass at 12:45 pm.
