Established in 1875, it is one of the first parishes in Jordan. It was under the parish of Salt, the church was built after the school. The first resident priest arrived to Rumeimin in 1877, and a few years later the church was built, then the Rosary Sisters came to do pastoral work. Most of the faithful of the parish have emigrated to the United States and now only a small number of Christian families remained in the village. When the Rosary Sisters left the parish, the Missionaries of Charity Sisters of “Mother Teresa” replaced them.
