History

Our Lady of Sorrows was originally a country mission church, dedicated as Our Lady of Dolors, but was later anglicized as Our Lady of Sorrows. The original church was founded in 1866 and was built of wood frame construction. It was staffed by Redemptorist priests until 1890 when the Marist Fathers took over. The church underwent a number of restorations and enlargements over the years but was eventually demolished in 1951 to make way for a new church, built of brick in the Georgian style. [1]
