Background
History
The church was built following Catholic Emancipation in 1859 by Ross and Joass. The original wooden altar was later replaced by one in marble which was removed from St Mary's, Nairn. Prior to the church being built, the Tridentine Mass was offered in a house in Dalcrag by a priest based in Glenmoriston, who rowed across Loch Ness to say Mass. St. Mary MacKillop visited this church on 12–13 December 1873, during a visit from Australia and remarked upon the clean and simple quarters of the Parish Priest, Fr. Bissett.
