The church is located at 1294 Makawao Avenue, {{coord |20|51|22|N| 156|18|29|W| type:landmark_region:US-HI| display=inline,title}}. The first church in the area was built here by Father James Beissel around 1882. The next pastor was Justin Van Schayk. The current structure was built in 1911 under supervision from John Couturiaux. A tower was added in 1927 financed by the family of James Beynes.[1]

The Catholic cemetery just below the church predates the current structure.[2]

After a journey of 123 days, the British ship Ravenscrag arrived in Hawaii in 1879 carrying 428 Portuguese immigrants. Frank’s wife, Theresa DeCosta Vasconcellos (Threza da Costa Vasconcelos), was born on the island of Sao Miquel in the Azores, in Bretanha, in 1874. Theresa arrived in Hawaii during the rule of King Kalākaua in 1883. Traveling with her mother, an aunt, two brothers, two sisters and a cousin, they arrived on the Bell Rock, a British ship carrying 1,405 Portuguese immigrants.
