Comments
"The first Sacred Heart Church was one of the buildings that were moved from one stop on the railway line to the next as it advanced westwards. It was erected - after it arrived from Jericho with the railway in 1886 - on the corner of Willow and Yew Streets.
It was replaced in 1898 when F r Lorretucci was in charge. The original building was moved once again to become an extra classroom for the first Convent school" [Sourced from:https:///barcaldine-peopleplacethings.org/roman-catholic-sacred-heart-church/ .
