In the days of the French pioneers, traveling priests from Ottawa visited the settlement once a year. Then in turn Combermere, the church was the mission of Brudenell, Maynooth and Brudenell again. Before the church was built, the Roman Catholic families in the Combermere area had to travel to Brudenell for Mass and other religious services and activities. Narcisse Zephirin Lorrain, the first Bishop of Pembroke, actually visited the area in 1906, looking for a site for a church. The Sacred Heart Church was built on land donated by Hormidas Perrier, and Combermere was a mission of Brudenell. Further property was purchased from Victor Bouchard in 1925. As a matter of fact, missionaries, priests, the Bishop on episcopal visits and even the first parish priest until a presbytery was built, all stayed in the home of Victor and Anna Bouchard. Rev Frank French pastor at Brudenell built the first church at Combermere in 1907. In 1931, the Combermere mission was made a parish by the Rt Rev P T Ryan, Bishop of Pembroke. Rev A P Dwyer then curate of Brudenell was appointed Priest. On July 1, 1931, Sacred Heart and its twenty families became a parish, and its first pastor was Rev A Patrick Dwyer. Of his siblings, three were also priests while another two were religious sisters. St Frances de Sales of Latchford Bridge now became a mission, and Bark Lake a station of Combermere. St Frances de Sales became a parish in its own right from 1947 to 1957, but then reverted to being a mission to Combermere, although continuing to maintain its own church register. Sacred Heart Church burned down on November 11, 1951 and was rebuilt in the same location and dedicated to the Canadian Martyr's in 1953. The cemetery is located beside the church at 2781 Dafoe Road (Cty Rd 517).
