St. Mary's Catholic Church

Descendants of the original founders still attend St. Mary's Catholic Church. It was established in 1915 at 536 Homestead Road in Bowers Hill. At that time, Bowers Hill was called the Sunray community of Norfolk County. It was originally a Polish community started by a few dozen families. Father Andrej Wilczek of St. Paul's Catholic Church in Portsmouth helped raise funds to construct the church that opened its doors on February 16, 1916.
