Administrative history
St John the Baptist Church, Sutherland, built in the early part of the 20 th century, had, by the 1950's, become too small to house its growing congregation. In 1960 the Reverend C.N. Steele began a successful campaign to raise funds for the erection of a new church to be dedicated as a war memorial. On June 24, 1965, St. John the Baptist War Memorial Church, which was built largely using volunteer labour, was officially opened.
