（1）峇冬丁宜圣母圣名堂的历史，是由峇都交湾天主教圣若翰堂开。当时有众多华人和印度人来到那里，从事农业，槟城升天堂的神父便来为他们服务，圣若翰堂的领洗，婚配，坚振及殡葬礼记录都保存在峇冬丁宜圣堂。据最早的记录到最后的记录是1838 - 1890。共有五十二年。

1846 年论神父（Fr. Couellon）在峇都教湾建了一间圣翰堂，以照顾本地教友，并作为威省发展的跟据地。他更学会了淡米尔文；开始向印度人传教。

后来峇都交湾的农作物到害虫侵蚀，教友们都逐渐向外地求发展，有些来到大山脚（直落卓坤），有些去到峇颜特拉（马章武莫），更有些来到峇冬丁宜。神父们也前来为他们服务，同时建立传教中心，这些就成了这三地教友最早的会所。

（2）1850 年德塞朗神父（Fr. Tisserang）由新加坡调来峇冬丁宜，他也把他成立的圣玛利小修院迁来，在这里开办了整十个年头。他建立了一座双层大屋，上面是神父和修士居住，下面是讲道所和课室。南北更建了两座房屋，充作学校，一男一女 – 后来改为宿舍开销由教堂负责，省吃俭用，由专门的道理老师负责照顾和教导。

（3）1859 年毕尔神父 (Fr. Pierre) 来到峇冬丁宜， 他发现约有百位教友住在那里，他们的农作物被害虫侵蚀。根据圣堂领洗部记录 ：1893年九月十日布赫来神父 (Fr.Bouheret)在峇冬丁宜，为第一位教友儿童施行洗礼。这是峇冬丁宜圣母圣名堂最早的记录，我们就把它算为这个堂区的生日。

（４）1893年毕布神父在爪夷（Jawi）申请到七百英土地教友发展，大约有五十位教友参加这个划。1900年布神父遽然去世，并埋葬在本堂圣山。而住在大山脚的马神父(Fr. Bes) 乃兼管峇冬丁宜教堂。1902年他在爪夷建立了一座小教堂，供四周教友和祈祷和参加彌撒用，并向四周教外人士传扬福音。1905年的记录，叙述有25人在那里领洗。后来这些土地都分给教友们。（据说：入教者可得15亩）。

（５）1909年墨里神父 (Fr. Maury) 被调来管理峇冬丁宜，1911年柏柴拉神父继位：1914年薛麦克神父 (Fr. Michael Seet) 在正式来此视事，他在1919年离开峇冬丁宜，而于1921年再次来掌管教务，直到1937年，将近二十余年，是居留最久的一位本堂神父。他在任内，于1928年兴建了现在的这座圣母圣名堂，雄伟状丽，至今已有七十余年的历史，除了钟楼尖塔外，其他部分乃然坚固，雄伟的矗立在南北大道旁边。薛神父在任时，是本圣堂最发达和安定时期。当时的教友多以种植为生，住在园丘内，生活虽清苦，但他们的信德都很坚强，很热心，很合作。当时的交通很不方便，没有车辆，只靠两条腿。虽然远在爪夷，三巴央，茶山（茶山只有5家教友，也一样走路到教堂参加彌撒。有教友去世时，他们从远处抬着棺木走到圣堂来，合作精神可敬可佩。 那时后，神父要管理三个教堂，三个主日才有一台彌撒。所以彌撒为他们来说是多么的可贵。有者步行几十里路，下山来参与，衣着讲究，男的长裤，大衣，皮鞋（不准穿短裤），女的一定要盖头巾。

               若遇夜晚有彌撒（如圣诞节）。教友在沿途中，先把椰叶绑成一束束，放在树下，等回家时就利用这些椰叶火炬，点燃照明回家的路。                                                  

              薛神父时期，工作多由神父一手包办，道理老师协助。虽有成立 [公教进行会]的组织，只给神父咨询意见。  

       建筑圣堂时，教友全部参与工作，有钱出钱，有力出力。从河里挑水，扛沙，充分表现合作的精神。
