Built in 1929/30 at the cost of $154,952, architect J Gibb Morton designed the church in the Neo-Romanesque style with Byzantine elements. The church is clad with Credit Valley variegated course stone and features a 40 m or 130 ft tall campanile. The first mass was held on June 15, 1930.

Father Francis J. Morrissey, Second Pastor, played a significant part in the initiative to build Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church.
