The parish’s history began as a mission of St. Vincent Martyr in Madison in 1950. Sunday Masses were first held in the Florham Park Roller Rink. Holy Family was formally established as a parish in 1954. Work on the building of a new church on Lloyd Avenue started in 1951 and was completed in 1952 on property that was donated to the parish by W. Lloyd Smith.
