The Roman Catholic parish in the Iosefin district was established in 1775 after Timișoara was liberated from Ottoman rule.

It was built between 1772 and 1774 in the Baroque style and consecrated in December 1775 by Leonhardus Rothenbach on behalf of the bishop of the Diocese of Cenad, Franz Anton Engl von Wagrain [de].

After Iosefin began to develop rapidly after the connection of Timișoara to the Central European railway system, the Baroque tower of the church seemed too short.

That is why in 1889 the sharp spire of the tower was built, which still exists today and which gives the church an unusual slenderness for Baroque buildings.

[5] On the Baroque main altar from 1935, made by László Szántó, there is a portrait of the Virgin Mary from the late 18th century.
