The church was originally built in 1863 under the supervision of Father Allbrecht, and was at one time across the county line in Fulton County. A few years after being built, "Father Larmer removed it to it's current site". The original priest's house built about 1874-75, burned down in 1911, and the present parsonage was built in 1912
