Established in 1952 when a group of Catholic women in the neighborhood began a door-to-door petitioning for a new parish in the aftermath of their children missing many school days at the far distance Queen of All Saints Basilica due to the inability of school buses to get through the snow.

The petitions were submitted to Cardinal Samuel Stritch in March 1952, and by June, Father Daniel O'Rourke was appointed pastor of the, then unnamed, parish.

By February 1953, the excavation had begun on the current site of the church and school.
