When St Mary’s Catholic Church in Bordertown was officially opened and blessed by Archbishop Matthew Beovich on August 22 1969, it came as a great relief to parishioners.

The episcopal visitation to the Bordertown parish in August has given locals a “sense of hope for the future” as they prepare for changes next year.
