The Order had been established in Western Australia in 1899 at the instigation of Bishop of Perth Matthew Gibney.

[1] At its opening on 13 September 1903, Bishop Gibney and New Norcia Abbot Fulgentius Torres dedicated the church to Saints Peter and Paul.

[2][3] The murals in the sanctuary were painted in 1962 by Karl Matzek, Austrian artist of Czech descent.

The monastery is constructed of Cottesloe Limestone and is in the Federation Gothic style of architecture.
