Bishop Matthew Gibney founded the Beagle Bay mission, developed in the land of the Nyul Nyul people; (Indigenous people were taken from their traditional areas and different parts of the Kimberley and put into Beagle Bay Mission.)
This became a site for the Aboriginal people in 1890. ... In 1907, the St John of God Sisters began to run a mission school at Beagle Bay and in 1918 the famous church was opened.
