Its history goes back to 1698 when the original chapel was built that was destroyed by the earthquake of 1797. It was in 1954 when the present temple was inaugurated in replacement of another structure affected by a new earthquake in 1949.[4] The church follows the Roman or Latin rite and is the seat of the Diocese of Ambato (Dioecesis Ambatensis) that was created in 1948 by Pope Pius XII through the bull Quae ad maius.

It is under the pastoral responsibility of Bishop Jorge Giovanny Pazmiño Abril.
