The first church in Grenada was French Roman Catholic and about 1718 the Notre Dame du Bon Secours Catholic Church. A tiny number of Irish Roman Catholic remained on the island as part of the Irish Brigade military contingent under Count Arthur Dillon and his brother Edward in 1779. At least seven early [[Grenada Online Genealogy Records | Roman Catholic parish registers]] (nearly 340 pages) have survived and have been digitized but not yet indexed. After 1864 RC parish records would have to have been formally kept. | The first church in Grenada was French Roman Catholic and about 1718 the Notre Dame du Bon Secours Catholic Church.

===Historical Background=== | |||
Although some Church members lived in Grenada while attending medical school, little permanent missionary work started until after the 1983 coup and subsequent invasion of Grenada by United States and United Nations forces. Under the direction of President Kenneth L. Zabriskie of the West Indies Mission, Elders Robert W. Hoffmaster and Leonard C. Gill arrived in Grenada in May 1985. They met with a medical student and their children. A branch (a small congregation) was established in St. George on 3 September 1985. Grenada is part of the Barbados Bridgetown Mission. Total Church Membership: 420. <ref> The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "Facts and Statistics: Grenada, https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/facts-and-statistics/country/grenada, accessed 29 March 2020.</ref> | |||
