The first Anglican services were held in a temporary building from 1845 until a new small timber church with a shingled roof in the Victorian Carpenter Gothic style was erected in 1866.
The Church became a Pro-Cathedral in 1903 and the Bishopric was established in 1904. When the decision was made to build St Boniface Cathedral in the 1960s, many parishioners lamented the plan to demolish their little church. All efforts to save or relocate the church failed and it was demolished in 1963.
