The church has become an important center of cultural activities for the Albanian Aromanian minority, and it has maintained close contact with institutions and representatives from Romania.

As Balamaci had the long-term plan of building a church for the Aromanians of the town, he went afterwards to Bucharest in Romania to collect money for this aim.

He had already collected some funds (more precisely, 1,497 Romanian lei) from 1886 to 1903 for planned buildings for the Aromanians through the society Diștiptarea ("The Awakening"),[5] which he had founded on 18 December 1886.

He collected 4,607 lei from Aromanians as well as Albanians (including future Prime Minister of Albania Pandeli Evangjeli) in Bucharest.

[7] These funds and those obtained through Diștiptarea were either saved for the future church or used for the chapel and a school for the Aromanians of Korçë.

According to Romanian Aromanian professor Alexandru Gica, Balamaci's brother Epaminonda was probably the brochure's author.

He was the attorney-in-fact of Korçë's pro-Romanian Aromanian community for launching subscription lists and collecting money donated for the church's construction.

[14] Balamaci's killers also robbed his house, stealing funds destined for institutions for the Aromanians of Korçë.

[10] It was located at the intersection of the Republika Boulevard with Pandeli Cale Street in modern Korçë, near today's Majestik Cinema movie theatre.

Posteriorly, a small chapel was built next to the damaged church in which priest Cotta Balamace served.

Nick did not want to mention the name of this chief, which was interpreted and praised by Gica as an attempt to leave behind the grudges of the past.

Veriga stayed in Romania from 1992 to 1993, where he studied at the Neagoe Vodă Basarab Orthodox Theological Seminary in Curtea de Argeș,[22] as Balamaci did during his lifetime.

[23] He was ordained priest on 6 December 1992 by the Romanian Archbishop of Argeș and Muscel Calinic Argatu [ro],[22] who had been present at the 1992 conference.

Installed by the Nicolae Iorga Foundation of Sarandë,[27] it was unveiled on 10 May 2021, on the Balkan Romanianness Day, a public holiday in Romania.

[29] Dhimitraq (also Dhimitër,[30] Dumitru,[16] Dumitrache,[3] Tache[20] or Tachi[2]) Veriga was born on 14 June 1943 in Korçë to Aromanian parents.

[35] For his activities during his lifetime, Albanian Aromanian activist Valentino Mustaka referred to Veriga as "the most worthy resemblant of our martyr Papa Lambru Balamaci".

[36] The church, together with other churches in Romania and of the Romanian diaspora, has held annual memorial services on 23 March to commemorate Balamaci and the other Aromanians murdered that day in Korçë in 1914, as well as any other Romanian, Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian "martyrs" that acted in defense of their identity.

[1][26][40][41] The Metropolis of Korçë of the Albanian Orthodox Church called for the police to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
