Sacred Heart has a long history, serviced for years by visiting clergy before the first parish priest was installed in 1850. Parishioners regularly get together for outdoor pilgrimages to historic homesteads at Bendethera and Alpine.

Parish priest Fr Emil Milat rides his horse Charlotte each year to re-enact the Palm Sunday entrance of Christ into Jerusalem.

The church features three lovely stained glass windows.
