Two books on the history of this parish have been published. We are working on placing them back online.

The first Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St George A Parish History
was written by Herbert Vaughan and published in 1992.

The second Living Stones was published to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of
the Consecration of the Parish Church in July 2007.
