The church was founded by James McKay in 1925 for the families of Brookside. Later in the 90's, a new part of the building was dubbed "The McKay Center" which contains a gymnasium, office, several classrooms, a cafeteria and a basement. Most people attending the parish were of Irish descent. The church grew quickly and in 1929 the school was founded for the families. Today the church and school are still thriving and in 2017 a major renovation was made to the building.
