On May 18, 1970, the provincial government’s moving barge arrived at Little Bay. Onboard was the Sacred Heart Church from Oderin.

Soon after its arrival, the church was transported to its new permanent site near the Little Bay Bridge and the solemn blessing and first mass was celebrated there on Aug. 15, 1970.

For some years after, the building continued to be used as a church, but its role changed in 1998. The building is now the Little Bay Heritage Centre and is used for a variety of community events.
