According to the book Chords from the Harp, A History of Bungendore Catholic Community by Rev. Brian Maher in November 1986 page 43.According to a Goulburn Herald report of 20 August 1885, the church foundation (corner stone) was laid by Very Rev. J.J. Carroll vicar-General of NSW on 16 August 1885. The church dimensions were 50 feet by 12 ½ feet and cost 600 pounds to construct. 300 people attended the ceremony to mark the laying of the corner stone.
In a letter to his superiors in Sydney in March 1893, Fr Madden said:
A church at Hoskinstown is built of stone with a shingle roof. There are three sets of vestments and a chalice. The church which was built in 1886 is fitted with seats and is in splendid repair.
