In 1922, the newly appointed parish priest Quirinus Johannes te Mey was commissioned by the diocese of Haarlem to found a new parish in Heerhugowaard. The architect was Jan Klomp (1865-1946). He designed a three-aisled cruciform church and also designed a 40-meter-high church tower, but the financing was lacking. Instead, a small skylight was placed above the chancel area, which has four tall, narrow stained glass windows.

The foundation stone was laid on June 29, 1922 and a memorial stone has been placed on the site of this stone. The main altar was installed at the same time as the inauguration of the church on August 4, 1924. The church also contains the relics of one of the Martyrs of Gorcum and of Saint Boniface.

The small church organ from around 1960, made by the Alkmaar organ builders firm Jos. H. Vermeulen, has one manual, seven registers and an attached pedal.

In 1946, a boiler house was added to the left side wall and in 1966 the building and the parsonage underwent major changes. The church received a modern entrance portal. Above it hangs an open bell tower with two bells with the names Aagje and Adriaan, after the parishioners who donated them. In 1988 the church interior underwent a thorough restoration. Various changes were also made to the white plastered church afterwards.
