Notes:
The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) provided services to the Mission on the invitation of the Bishop at the time who would then appoint Priests and Brothers where they were needed.

The Australian Government acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples throughout Australia and their continuing connection to land, water, culture and community. We pay our respects to the Elders both past and present.
