History informs us that prior to 1955, a group of neighbors from the Heights area formed a petition asking the Bishop of Manchester to consider having a small Catholic church or chapel built in their area. The people who lived on the Heights, East Concord, Loudon and other nearby communities were registered at St. John the Evangelist. The Rev. Richard Boner was assigned to investigate the possibilities.
