It has been the church building of the Diocese of Saint-Etienne since its creation on 26 December 1970. The structure was built as a detailed area church somewhere in the range of 1912 and 1923 out of a crude neo-Gothic style, on a Latin crossground plan with transept and triple nave, and a belltower on the west front.

The structure is 80 meters long, 30 meters wide and 17 meters from the focal point of the rooftop vault to the ground. The organ in the choir dates from 1930, and there is another overwhelming one by A. Durand from 1968. The structure was an exceedingly goal-oriented one from the begin, and stays incomplete. The undertaking of an expansive church for another area was settled on in 1830 to serve the rising populace of the city resulting upon its mechanical development.

In 2005, at the impelling of the Abbe Martin, minister, the format was finished by the making of an episcopal house of prayer reasonable with the special stepped area and the ambo, on illustrations by the engineer Michel Goyet. Worked after the partition of the Church and the State, it is one of only a handful couple of houses of God in France possessed by the ward, which is completely in charge of its upkeep.
