The church was built in 1935-36 and was designed by Paul Monaghan in the Romanesque Revival style.  The Celtic cross at the top of the church is an indication that the parish was originally largely Irish-American; today there are more Dominican-Americans then Irish. The parish was founded in 1911, and their first church was built c.1912 on a site just down Isham Street from the current church.
