This church is part of a joint pastorate with St Malachy's Church, Kilclief. Both Strangford and Kilclief are predominantly Catholic and Nationalist communities. Some 83% of the combined population of 2350 are from this background. The land for the building of the chapel was granted by Lord Henry Fitzgerald in 1820. The present building dates from the 1930s after a fire had destroyed the earlier building.
