History

Catholic services in Luseland were first held in 1906 in private homes, schools, and the Royal George Hotel.

In 1926, a school building was purchased and converted into use as a church. The first Mass was said there on 15 May 1926.

A new church building was constructed and the first Mass was said therein on 8 December 1945.

In 1975, the building of the former Broadacres Catholic Church was moved into Luseland and expanded. This parish was renamed to "Blessed Eugene de Mazenod" Catholic Church - now St. Eugene de Mazenod.
