Our Catholic faith community has existed in Georgina from the time when cottagers met in a tent for Mass in Keswick and when the people of Sutton were members of St. Anthony’s in Virginia.  In 1954 the permanent structure of Immaculate Conception Church was built; but still remained a mission of Beaverton. 

Fifty years ago, on July 19, 1959, Fr. William O’Brien was installed in Sutton as the first pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, in the presence of his Excellency, the Most Reverend F. A. Marocco, Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto. Sutton became a parish in its own right, and at the same time, the people of Our Lady of the Lake in Keswick, formally a mission of St. John’s in Newmarket, became a mission to the newly formed parish family of Immaculate Conception.

It is with great joy we celebrate this year, the 50th anniversary of Our Lady of the Lake Mission Church and Immaculate Conception Parish.
