Early history of the church is limited, although it is believed the first building was a chapel on Brewery Hill, followed by a church/school, on governemt granted land, by 1854. Construction of the present church building began in 1856, but it was not finally completed and opened till 6/3/1871, by Bishop Goold. The parish priest at the time was Michael Farrelly, who arrived in 1870, and stayed until he died in 1906. The church building underwent significant restoration in 2012.
