History
The Chapel opened in 1906 to serve summer residents; the number of visitors grew quickly and the church moved in 1911.

The present church was dedicated October 8, 1950 by the Most Reverend Henry J. O'brien, Bishop of Hartford. The Chapel was designed by Andrew G. Patrick and built by E&F Construction Co. The church was dedicated before more than 800 who gathered to witness the ceremonies. Erected as a mission of St. Patrick Church, the Chapel is located at the corner of Ortega and Funston Avenues in Bridgeport.

In 1997, Monsignor Gregory Smith resigned after accusations of abuse.

In 2011, the church was part of a merger of churches in Bridgeport.
