This tiny chapel built in 1915 served the Barriada del Rillito, a community now called El Fuerte. The fifteen Mexican immigrants of this village gathered outside under mesquite trees to hear Mass. In 1917 Senora Josefa de Mule donated land for a larger building. The second chapel, Santo Angel de la Guarda, was destroyed by a tornado in 1929. The present structure, also built by the men of El Fuerte, was dedicated in 1932. Carmelite Fathers from Tucson's Holy Family Church served the congregation until 1948 when St. Cyril's replaced this chapel as the neighborhood parish church.
