In 1918, following a petition from a large group of parishioners, Bishop Thomas Berry authorized the construction of a church in Baker-Brook. In 1920, Father Zoël Lambert began the work by building the foundation, which still supports the current church.

The sacristy was constructed in 1926, the same year work on the main church structure began. The first mass was celebrated there on August 29, 1927, marking the beginning of religious life in this iconic community site.
