Hiking
The church dates from 1868. It can be regarded as a prestige project of the then pastor, Father William Strickland: once finished, everyone was amazed by the beauty, but also amazed by the price. She put the parish in huge debt and Father Strickland in big trouble with his superiors. His parishioners objected to the amount of the debt, in particular to the construction of the school, which they believed could have been provided more cheaply. This building is now used as a parish hall.
