The current church, which opened in 1845, is the fourth to be built on the site.[2] The building closed in 2014 when it was determined the building needed approximately C$15 million in restoration work.
After a fundraising campaign, construction began in early 2019 on the first phase of a four phase restoration plan and included the installation of a long-term copper roof, a new heating system, major electrical work, and structural repairs.[3]
The building reopened for regular weekend mass on September 8, 2019.[4]
The parish began the second phase of the restoration plan in 2020. The second phase includes restoration of the church's ceiling.[5]
