History

The present church is the third structure that serves as the cathedral of the diocese, and was inaugurated on October 30, 1999. The first church dedicated to the Sacred Heart was built in 1931. A new and larger church was inaugurated on February 28, 1965 as the principal church of the Diocese of Chiang Mai (Dioecesis Chiangmaiensis, สังฆมณฑลเชียงใหม่), which was created in the same year by bull "Qui in fastigio" of Pope Paul VI.

Ancillary buildings

The Sacred Heart School and a kindergarten surround the church building, having been added in 1932.
