The Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Merbein was opened on 8/4/1956. This replaced the red brick building opened on 11/12/1927 by Bishop Foley of Ballarat, which was used as a school during the week and as a church on Sundays. More historical information/photographs of the church congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 19/2/2020.
