The parish of San Vicente Ferrer had humble beginnings, with Mass and other liturgical functions being celebrated at various locations, including Purok Uno, a vacant lot near the train station, and in front of the Laguna Rice Mill. In the 1950s, the San Vicente Youth Circle was founded and played a key role in raising funds to build a visita. As the Christian community grew, Bishop Pedro Bantigue sent a chaplain, and Fr. Napoleon Pantas arrived with a vision of constructing a larger church. With the help of the Catholic Women’s League and support from well-off Cursillistas in Laguna and Rizal, funds were raised to build the church. The original concrete structure, influenced by the popularity of the Cursillo Movement, was named the "Golden Cross Church of San Vicente Ferrer," featuring a Golden Jacobean Cross at the apex of its pyramidal roof, a symbol of the movement.

On December 19, 1969, Fr. Pantas was appointed the first parish priest, and the new church was inaugurated on March 13, 1973. Over the years, the church saw continuous improvements through the efforts of subsequent parish priests. On March 29, 2007, the church was solemnly dedicated by Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, marking a significant milestone in its development and spiritual life.
