John Vander Pol, S.J. was sent to Alaska to investigate the need for a parish in the new settlement. A. J. Wendler acquired two lots for the new parish in an auction for $175. Father Vander Pol designed a simple wood frame building with a veneer of ornamental cement block that measured by feet. It was built for $1400.

Porreca was chosen to design the new church. Work began on the Romanesque Revival structure in 1946. The first mass was celebrated in the unfinished basement on December 14, 1947. The parish was able to use main church by the end of the following year. Father O'Flanagan became Bishop of Juneau in 1951.
