The first stone was laid on 15 August 1993, and the building was in use for Sunday Eucharist from 1998, so construction ran through that period rather than ending before it. The parish itself was carved out of Saint Joseph Parish by decree of Bishop Benyamin Yosef Bria in 2001 and was consecrated on 4 June 2017 by Bishop Silvester Tung Kiem San. Before the cathedral was used for worship, services were held in the Komsos building on Jalan PB Sudirman.
The cathedral is the seat of the Diocese of Denpasar, which began as an apostolic prefecture in 1950 and was raised to its present status in 1961 by Pope John XXIII's bull "Quod Christus". Its parish was split off from Saint Joseph Parish in 2001 and dedicated in 2017 under Bishop Silvester Tung Kiem San. Pastoral groups include the Legion of Mary and the Charismatic renewal.
The cathedral stands on Jalan Tukad Musi I in Denpasar and can be reached on foot or by local transport. Visitors should dress modestly out of respect and check current opening times before heading there.
