Prime Minister Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum initially granted a plot of land but it was unusable due to its remoteness.

Fr Eusebio Daveri then obtained a more accessible plot of land in 1965 and began construction of a church.

On 7 April 1967, it was solemnly blessed by the Vicar Apostolic of Southern Arabia Irzio Luigi Magliacani, OFM Cap., and dedicated as the Church of the Assumption.

Its members are predominately Filipino, South Asian, and African, and masses are held throughout the week in Arabic, English, French, Konkani, Malayalam, Sinhalese, Swahili, Tamil, Tagalog, Ukrainian, and Urdu.
