The site for these was acquired from the Department of Health and Social Security in 1973 and the church, a design and build construction by Lanners of Wakefield, was formally opened by Bishop Butler on 22 April 1976.The church was consecrated by Cardinal Hume on 10 September 1979. A parish hall was later added, c1992 (architect B. D. Kaye). The church is now served from Radlett.
