Originally it was a Methodist Church built in Knutsford near the cemetery on land donated by Captain John Silliker (who also donat¬ ed land for the Knutsford School). Later it was moved to O'Leary and located on the lot now owned by Stanley Dumville . It continued to be used by the Methodist congregation until church union (1925) when it automatically became the property of the United Church. In 1927, Rev. John Gaudet of St. Anthony 's and John Noonan bought the building and had it moved to a lot bought from R.H. Jelley on the - its present site. In 1928, a tower and entry were added to the structure. The altar was donated by the neighbouring parish of the Brae . Since its opening in 1927, the celebrating of mass has been under the care of the paters (fathers) and assistant priests of St. Anthony 's who have made the effort to travel to the mission so that parish¬ ioners of O'Leary could be better served. Father Justin MacDonald left in the summer of 1983. From then to 1987, Father Pat Giddings was the priest of this mission followed by Father Floyd Gallant ,who continued until 1990 when services ceased. During construction of the tower and entry, it has been reported that a passerby enquired of Dominic Perry what they were doing to the little church. Dominic replied, "They are trying to take the Protestant look off it." UNITED BAPTIST CHURCH United Baptist Church 70
