Nestled in Beagle Bay on Western Australia's Dampier Peninsula, the Sacred Heart Church, also known as the 'Mother of Pearl' Church, is renowned for its stunning shell-adorned interior. Constructed by local Aboriginal people and German Pallottine missionaries during World War I, the church features an altar inlaid with mother-of-pearl, cowrie, volute, and olive snail shells, blending Christian and Aboriginal motifs. The church was officially opened on August 15, 1918, and remains a cherished place of worship and community gathering.
