Constructed of logs about a mile north to its present location, the early foundation of the church was at Kingston Mills (also called the Cashendall).

During the winter period, residents would walk across the Rideau Canal from the Aragon Road to help in the celebration of the holy mass.

On June 26, 1886, Edward and Jane Braden donated a land for the construction of the church building and rectory.

Casey retired in 1953 due to health ailments, hence Reverend T.J Raby became the pastor in September 1953.
