The church was built to serve the Catholic community in Glendive which had outgrown its first church, the St. Julianna Catholic Church established in 1886 in the former Congregational Church building at Power and Sargent Street on the east side. Property at the corner of Meade and Benham, on the west side of Glendive, was bought for $4,500; the church was built for $50,000 and a rectory (demolished in 1970) was built for $7,500. The church had a $5,000 organ installed in about 1927. The church's interior was remodeled extensively in 1973–74.[2]
It was listed on the National Register along with several other Glendive properties covered in a 1987 study.[3]
