History

Sacred Heart Parish was established in 1923, when Assumption Parish (St. Mary's) was reorganized. The parish included the communities of of St. Vincent's, Middle Gut (later renamed St. Stephen's), and Peter's River.

The first parish priest, Rev. George W. Battock, was appointed in 1923 and he remained in the parish until 1970. He was succeeded by Rev. Thomas Cooper. However, the parish priest at Assumption Parish later assumed the duties of administrator for Sacred Heart Parish, although the parishes retained separate records and administrative structures.

Under the first parish priest, Rev. Battcock, a new school, community hall, rectory, and church was constructed in St. Vincent's. A new church, St. Anne's, was built at Peter's River in 1927 and a new school was opened between Peter's River and St. Stephen's. In 1962 the Presentation Sisters established a convent in St. Vincent's and commenced teaching in the local school.
