In Januray of 1918,Father James Delahunty celebrated the first Mass here in Hughson, in the home of Mrs. A.J. Serpa. Two years later, Father James Galvin rented Northway's Hall here in Hughson for Sunday Mass and Sunday School. This generated enough enthusiasm among the residents that they began planning for a church.
The mostly, Portuguese community, pledged enough money for a new church, where Mass was celebrated on Christmas Day in 1921.
The Church building was designed by Father Charles Phillips; a simle structure of frame  with stucco exterior, metallic sheeting and wooden wainscoting, measuring 90 feet by 42 feet. Parish building occupied one acre; the remaining five acres where used to sale alfalfa. 
It took 46 years, in 1967, before the present day church and parish building  were structured. Father Eugenio Alves justifiably praised his little parish's fundraising success, providing also a church hall with kitchen facilities and three clasrooms; wjere the Holy Family Sisters and lay people taught religion to the children. Father Alves waxed eloquent: "The effect of the spiritual and mystic quality in color, treatment and design bring a new landmark to Hughson." 
The same enthusiasm energizes today's parishioners, involved in every area of parish life: ministried, finance, religious education, youth, liturgy, etc. many conducted in both English and Spanish.
