Sacred Heart Catholic Church

The Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Wahgunyah is part of the Parish of Wahgunyah (with St Mary's, Rutherglen) in the Diocese of Sandhurst. The first Mass in Wahgunyah was said about 1869, by Fr William Tierney PP, of Beechworth. The present church building was a deserted wooden church relocated from the old mining centre at Chiltern Valley, to its current site in 1929. It was re-erected on land donated in Dennison Street by two brothers, Artthur and Ted Bayliss.
