Sacred Heart Chapel — Victoria Park (was) located on Church Road on two acres of land donated by Phillip Danko in 1909. The first church was built in 1909. The first members and all founders of the church were: Frank Gusnowsky, Steve Gusnowsky, Walter Evaskavich, Phillip Danko, Samuel Sobkovich, Stanley Sobkovich, Martin Lakusciak, Joe Galant Sr., Frank Esaak, Keaton Hochkevich, and Michael Popp; eleven families in all. Five years later, in 1914, the first church was dismantled and a new and larger church was built on the same site; again with all volunteer labour. In 1937, the second church was dismantled and the present larger church was built on the same site.

Services were held regularly until New Year's Day, January 1, 1977. The cemetery remains in use although the church no longer holds regular services.

After being unused for a number of years, a decision was made to sell the building. During the demolition, the cornerstone was opened and a document was found (and is depicted in the book).

As noted above, a part of the parish's story, and those of its parishioners through roughly 1991 is told in the two cited volumes. Free digital versions of these and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0229), transcribed by a member or members in 1986 and updated in 1995 and 2019. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
