Our History
Established 1973
Parishioner Gary Payne recently detailed the varied and interesting history of this parish in his History of Quakers Hill-Schofields Parish 1919 – 1993. The first recorded mention of Quakers Hill was in June 1789 when Captain Watkin Tench stood on ‘The Quakers Hill’ and ‘from there has a clear view of Prospect Hill’.
It was from the parish of Blacktown-Prospect that the Parish Priest, Rev. John Moriarty, came at the request of Catholic families to celebrate the first Mass in June 1919.
