The church had its beginning in 1853, when the Archbishop of San Francisco, Alemany, sent Father Florian Schwenninger to be the head of mission in Shasta County serving the miners and settlers. The first church was small wooden church built in 1853. In 1855 Father Schwenninger was transferred to Weaverville and Father Raphael Rinaldi took of duties at Shasta. Father Rinaldi started to build the new stone church in 1857, to replace the wooden church. The building did not get beyond the laying of the Foundation, that is still on the site.
