St. Mary's church was founded by Episcopalians looking to create an Anglo-Catholic community in the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona. The first Mass was celebrated on the Feast of Christ the King, October 28, 1956, in a Phoenix storefront. Several supply priests served the growing mission parish until the first vicar, the Reverend Rodney Cobb, arrived in December 1957. By 1958, the church had reached 150 parishioners and had purchased farmland property to provide ecclesiastical, office, and school facilities.
In 1959, the Reverend Lewis H. Long arrived from Abilene, Kansas. Under his leadership, the mission entered a period of growth and became a full parish in 1961. A five-acre site was purchased at 39th Avenue and Maryland. In June 1964, ground was broken for the new St. Mary's church building. The first Mass was said in December 1964, with a dedication the following Spring.
