The current building was completed in 1911 and over the years the interior and exterior has undergone some changes. The Church’s interior, in its current state, is sympathetically decorated which was done by a group of parishioners. The most recent development has been the painting of the consecration candles on the pillars and a puginesque border that goes around the church walls.
