It was inaugurated in March 1999 in the neighborhood of San Cristóbal. Its construction, begun on January 6, 1998, is modernist, similar to that of the Basilica of Guadalupe, simulating a tent for pilgrims.

More than 70 churches are dependent on this diocese.

On Sundays, as in all Catholic churches, Masses are celebrated, accompanied by musical groups such as students, musicians and vocalists such as the music ministry Sabath and even Mariachi, which incidentally gives a folk form to this religious act.
