[1] The Assembly of Gjuhadol was founded in 1861 by the Franciscan Bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Shkodër–Pult, Luigj Çiurçisë.

Friars Françesk Melkiori and Lorenc Mitroviqi collected alms for construction.

Both the church and assembly designs were by Friar Anselm (who died on March 25, 1891) but were enhanced by French engineer Agustin Briott upon resumption in 1902.

[1][3] In January 1947 the Sigurimi (Albanian Secret Police) stored a cache of arms and ammunition in the church.

[4] The tower of the church and rear wing underwent restoration in 2007.
