Administrative history
The first mass was celebrated in the main hall of St. Margaret’s School on January 7, 1951 by Father J. Burke. Land for a church was purchased by the Archdiocese. Unfortunately the exact date construction began on the church is unknown, however on December 25, 1951 mass celebrations were moved from St. Margaret’s School to the basement of the new church. The church was blessed by Archbishop MacDonald on May 03, 1953 and dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary (prior to its dedication it was known as St. Margaret’s). The rectory was completed in January 1956.
Over the fifty years of its operation several social groups were active in the church including, the Catholic Women’s League (formed in 1951), the senior choir (organized in 1951), St. Margaret’s men’s Club (formed in 1951 to raise money to defray the building fund).
Due to decreased attendance, Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish merged with St. Anthony Parish in October 29th 2001.
