  The church was designed by Togo Murano. It follows the Roman or Latin rite and serves as the principal church of the Diocese of Hiroshima which was created in 1959 with the bull Qui arcano of Pope John XXIII.
  Pope John Paul II visited the church on his tour of Japan in February 1981. It was built in tribute to the victims of war and the nuclear bomb that was dropped on the city. Father Enomiya Lassalle, who was exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, began construction in 1950 and opened in 1954.
