[3][4] After World War II, the Catholic parishes of Karelia and Vyborg Terijoki were merged, with services held in Lahti.

A more central location was sought, however, and so the community moved to a chapel in Jyväskylä on January 10, 1949.

Designed by Olavi Kivimaa, it is an austere concrete structure with a covered facade.

In addition to the church, it sponsors a parish center, a Catholic school, a student residence, a rectory and apartments.
