The parish history dates back to 1962 when Bishop McNulty established a mission to serve Catholics in Riverdale and the Pompton Plains section of Pequannock. Sunday Masses began to be celebrated in the Pequannock High School cafeteria in November 1962. Bishop Navagh raised the mission to parish status in 1963.
