It is the seat of the deanery of Kokshetau, which depends on the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana, centered in Nur-Sultan and led by Archbishop Metropolitan Tomasz Peta.

After the fall of the USSR and the end of an atheistic government, the Catholic Church in Kazakhstan, like other Christians were allowed to operate relatively normally.

In 1992, the Apostolic Administrator of Kazakhstan, Bishop Jan Paul Lenga, gave his blessing to the construction of a new church.

Construction began in 1992 in neo-Gothic style with elements of modern twentieth century architecture.

In June 1999, the organ of the Polish company "Ludwik Saganowski", produced in 1948, was installed in the church.
