The congregation first met at the Beverly Hills Hotel from 1922 onwards. [4] Four years later, in 1926, a chapel was built. [4] By 1935, it became a parish in its own right. [4]

Several decades later, in 1951, a new church building was erected, though the chapel was preserved. [4] The organ was made by Casavant Frères for the new church in 1951. [5]

Every week, the church serves 'The Monday Meal' to 130 - 150 guests, many of whom are homeless. [6] In March 2012, artist Lisa Lesniak sold her paintings of the homeless as a fundraiser for the church. [7]
