The parish has grown rapidly, reflecting regional development. Samaritans ministry for financial support to the community has been active since founding.

Architecture
The church building reflects early twenty-first-century design, with a sanctuary centered on the tabernacle.[2]
Art and devotional features
The church features 20 large stained-glass windows depicting the mysteries of the rosary, along with additional stained-glass windows portraying saints, including Saint Thomas Aquinas.[3]
These windows contribute to a prayerful atmosphere described as transporting worshippers to a heavenly place.
Additional details on other interior artwork, statues, or sculptures remain limited in publicly available sources.
Relics
According to established Catholic tradition, the main altar contains deposited relics, as is customary in dedicated churches. Specific details regarding the saints associated with these relics are not publicly documented in available sources. This follows common practice where first-class relics, often of martyrs, are sealed within the altar.
