The building was designed by Joseph Venne of Montreal as architect and the Roman artist Gonippo Raggi as artist-decorator. The church was built of white marble bricks which were originally intended as tombstones for the Spanish-American war. Construction was begun on March 25, 1911 and the church was dedicated July 2, 1916.

The heavy doors appear to be of bronze. They have high relieves of different saints and low relieves of different Biblical scenes sculpted into the doors.
