The church is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orlando, in full communion with the Holy See.

The church was designed by Cooper Johnson Smith Architects & Town Planners.

[1] Groundbreaking for the church was in November 2008, though construction (by general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie) did not begin in earnest until the following January.

Gregory Parkes, the parish priest, was able to say the first Mass in the building on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Construction was completed on December 24, 2009, and it was consecrated on Saturday, January 16, 2010 ,with Bishop Thomas Wenski of Orlando presiding.
