The first reference to a church occurred in 1675, in the area known as Adro Velho immediately located near the actual church.

A provision by the Bishop of Angra friar D. Lourenço de Castro in 1676, de-annexed the parish of Fajãzinha from the parish of Lajes das Flores, to which the ecclesiastical parish belonged, as part of the greater parish of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios das Fajãs, with its seat in the Church of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios da Fajãzinha.
Between 12 and 13 July, the new parish was delimited in the presence of the ecclesiastical Ouvidor, the Father Domingos Nunes Pereira and primary parish priest André Alves de Mendonça.

In 1747, a bell tower was constructed, dating from the inscription place on the church.

Stone was already being broken in 1771 for the construction of a new church.
The construction of this church would only begin on 7 April 1776, with the sacristy (to the north) constructed in 1787.
The belltower was remained incomplete for some time, gradually completed through the contributions of its parishioners.
A date marker over the portico indicates the date of 1778, referring to its construction by Father Alexandre Pimentel de Mesquita.
Finally, in the summer 1896, work began to conclude the bell tower, ultimately leading to its conclusion on 23 May 1834 (later followed in 1868 by work completed on the cemetery).

Between 1895 and 1898, the parish (along with all other parishes on the island) belonged to the integrated municipality of Santa Cruz das Flores, following the suppression of the municipality of Lajes das Flores.
