The first parish church, dedicated to St. Francis Regis, opened on June 16, 1895. After Bandung received the status of gemeente (municipality) in 1906, it was decided to build a new church building. Construction of the new building was started in 1921. The construction was finished in 1922 and the new cathedral was blessed on February 19, 1922, by Mgr. Edmundus Sybradus Luypen, Apostolic Vicar of Batavia.[5]
