The new parish consisted of 879 families who wanted a new school. The school was founded in 1964 with 130 pupils in first and second grade, with a new grade level added each year.
In 1982, the parish was assimilated into the Diocese of Metuchen under Bishop Theodore E. McCarrick.
The 1984-85 year added morning and afternoon kindergarten.
In 2008, Thomas Walsh was installed as the new presiding pastor.[2]
