The first mass celebrated by the parish was held in a barn on Ash Wednesday 1982.  By the end of lent the church had moved into an old abandoned railroad depot in the town of Hamlin.  The first mass celebrated there was on the Vigil of Easter.

In 1985, plans were made to build a new church on 15 acres of land just north of town.  Ground was broken on May 6th, 1986 and construction began in June 1987.  The first mass celebrated at the site was on the occasion of "the Rock Party" when more than 200 men, women and children brought over 200 TONS of stone from the farms and backyards throughout the community.  These stones now grace the wall of our sanctuary; a symbol of the family spirit that characterizes our parish.

The church was simply blessed by Bishop Clark on October 14, 1989 and was solemnly dedicated on August 9, 1992.  In 1996 a full immersion baptismal font was installed; also fashioned from stones brought by parishioners.

Today, with an ever increasing population of active parishioners, we continue to finish and furnish our building with time, talent and treasure as we continually minister in word, worship and witness, the presence of Christ in this area.
