[1] In 2003, Bishop Lenga, Apostolic Administrator of Karaganda, obtained permission from the authorities to acquire land for the construction of a new cathedral.

This decision was made because the old seat of the Diocese of Karaganda, the Minor Basilica of St. Joseph, is small in size.

The work was financed by donations from abroad to honor victims of the persecutions of the communist regime that sent many priests and lay Catholics to the correctional complex Karlag.

Carried out under the neo-Gothic style, it was built according to Vladimir Sergeyev's plans.
