The church is dedicated to Mother Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and was built by Germans in 1913. The current structure was rebuilt after a major fire in 1936. Featuring Gothic-style architecture with stained glass windows and large arches, the church interior boasts terracotta cross stands, a bronze cavalry monument, stained glass windows, and the tomb of Hubert D'Rosario, Shillong’s first archbishop.
