Planning for the new parish had started years before, when Msgr. John M. McCarthy, then pastor of St. John's Parish, realized that the city of Fresno would grow and would need several more parishes to serve the future population. After receiving permission from his bishop, Msgr. McCarthy got out his horse and buggy; he and his assistant began a weeklong search for church sites. They decided upon the southeast corner of Forthcamp (the present North Fulton Avenue) and Elizabeth Streets, what is now the parking lot for the former Turpin's Furniture. A house was purchased at this site. After the parish was officially formed, this house was utilized as a rectory. However, the first Mass in the parish was celebrated June 29, 1919 in the Dan C. Desmond home at 845 Echo Avenue. Records list some 30 parishioners who atended this Mass.
