History and Architecture:

In 1937 the Church of St. Vincent de Paul was built and opened by Bishop Ryan. Mr. Paddy Buckley had donated the land, and a Queen Carnival was held to raise funds. At this time Welshpool was still under the auspices of Yarram Parish. The three communities of Foster, Toora and Welshpool combined in 1940 to create the new Parish of St. Agnes, Toora.

St. Vincent de Paul church was returned to the Parish of Yarram when the parish Centre was moved to Fish Creek. The church was eventually sold and now with a new religious group.
