In the 1940s, recognising the growing needs of the region, Monsignor Denis Conaghan (Parish Priest of Maroubra from 1939-1954) purchased land to establish a new parish in the Pagewood area. His successor, Monsignor Barney Hudson, (Parish Priest of Maroubra 1954-1974) undertook the formation of the new parish in the late 1950s with the first priest attached to the Pagewood Church, Fr John Power, taking up his position on December 19th 1959. Father Power had a strong desire to provide Catholic schooling for children in the region and went about securing the services of the Marist Brothers to staff the single sex primary school which commenced in 1961
