The church was dedicated on December 15 1872. The rectory was built in 1872 and this became the convent in 1880. In the spring of 1873 the cemetery was made. The cemetery is explained HERE. The school was made in 1880 and was staffed by the Sisters of Saint Joseph. A new rectory was made nearby. Both the school and rectory were made on Columba Street which is a few streets away from Sheridan Street.
