This Roman Catholic church on Burrows Avenue in Winnipeg was designed by the local architectural firm of Libling Michener and Associates and constructed in 1971. A formal opening ceremony on 12 September 1971 was attended by Archbishop George Bernard Flahiff and Minister of Consumer Affairs Ben Hanuschak. It replaced an earlier church immediately to the west that was converted to a parish hall.
