The parish of Mother of Sorrows in Put-In-Bay began as a Station of Kelley's Island in 1865. They built their first church in 1875. With the completion of the church building the status of the parish changed from a Station to a Mission.

In 1919 a site was purchased for a new church, but the parish did not begin work on the structure until November of 1927. The building was completed in July of 1929.
