The original St. Benedict's Church was erected in 1910, two years before the congregation became a parish, and was destroyed by fire in 1923. This brick church was built to replace it in 1925 under the leadership of Father Yvo Tymen, O.M.I. (1879-1977), who served as pastor of St. Benedict's from 1921 to 1937. In addition to this church, he supervised the construction of a rectory and the renovation of school facilities damaged by a 1933 hurricane.
