The Church of the Holy Name was organized on July 13, 1913 to serve the Catholic population of North Camden. Rev. Thomas J. Whelan was its first pastor. The new parish celebrated its first mass in a box factory on the north side of State Street, between North 7th and North 8th Streets. The parish dedicated the handsome new church at North 5th Street and Vine Street on December 18, 1927. This church cost more than $250,000.

Holy Name continued to serve North Camden until 2008. On April 4, 2008 Bishop Galante announced the following changes which affected to churches in Camden and Pennsauken. The changes, taken from the text of the bishop's speech, are as follows:

* Merge the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Camden), Holy Name (Camden) and Our Lady of Mount Carmel & Fatima (Camden), with the primary worship site at the Cathedral and a secondary worship site at Our Lady of Mount Carmel & Fatima.
