Established in 1793, it operates a parochial school and houses a large cemetery.

As such, it is a stop on the Booth's Escape Scenic Byway.

Although Catholic worship in Bryantown was recorded as early as 1654, land for a log cabin church was not set aside until 1743. Construction on the current church began in 1846. It was damaged by fire in 1963, rebuilt, and rededicated in 1966.
