History
The first church was built in 1903 on a lot purchased on Glendhu Avenue. By 1917, the church had outgrown its space and required a new building. In 1925, the cornerstone of the current church, at the new Cazenovia Street location was laid. In 1964, the parish hall of the church caught on fire and was damaged. A year later it had been restored.

Dedicated in 2016, the Genesis Center of St. Simon's operates a food pantry and soup kitchen. The Genesis Center is located at the site of a former bar which once hosted the Goo Goo Dolls.
