The parish was established in 1904, blessed and opened in 1931. In 1931 the Dominican Mission purchased the Kromme River Farm. The original 1771 thatched house, then being used as a wine cellar, was made into a church. Irish Dominican Sisters came in 1939 and stayed until 1980. At that time the parish was turned over to the Archdiocese of Cape Town.
