The congregation was established in 1870, and they held their first services in a schoolhouse. By 1873 they were able to buy the lot on which the school stood, and in December 1875 they completed a new church. The parish bought the property the present church building is located on in the 1920s. Local architect Frederic DeLongchamps designed a new church building, and the congregation was able to complete the lower level of the church in 1929. This served all the parish's needs until the present church was completed in 1949.
