A new and larger church was inaugurated on February 28, 1965 as the principal church of the Diocese of Chiang Mai (Dioecesis Chiangmaiensis, สังฆมณฑลเชียงใหม่), which was created in the same year by bull "Qui in fastigio" of Pope Paul VI.
Ancillary buildings
The Sacred Heart School and a kindergarten surround the church building, having been added in 1932.
