history

On May 31, 1945, the church was destroyed by the Allied forces in the air raid in Taipei at the end of World War II. After the end of World War II, only wooden boards were used to build a simple church beside the original site.

On July 5, 1959, under the main ceremony of Archbishop Guo Ruoshi, the reconstruction of the church was officially started and completed in May 1961. It was designated as the Episcopal Church by Cardinal Tian Gengshen, then acting bishop of Taipei, and was mainly protected by the Virgin Mary of the original sin. On May 30 of the same year, bishop Cheng Shiguang held the ceremony of consecration. The next day, the first mass was held by the then Minister of the holy see in China, Mr. Gao Liyao.
