The temple follows the Roman or Latin rite and depends on the missions of Divine Mercy which is under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Saint John's - Basseterre (Dioecesis Sancti Ioannis Imatellurana).
In 1997 the church was affected by a volcanic eruption[3] that caused damage to much of the island, and only until 2009 could complete the reconstruction and reopening of the temple.[4]
