Following a generous gift of property on Bryn Mawr and Highland Avenues from Lonergan, ground was broken and the cornerstone for the new parish church laid in October 1906. The new church was dedicated on November 8, 1908 by Archbishop Ryan. A parish school and convent for the Sisters of Mercy were later built on the parcel.
In the Chapel of the Crucified Christ, also called the Founders' Chapel, on the side of the church, are buried the first two pastors of the parish: Father Michael J. McCabe, the founding pastor, served from 1908 to 1918; his brother, Father Luke V. McCabe served the parish following his brother's death from 1918 until his own death in 1930.
