Construction began in 2007, and the cathedral was officially opened on September 5, 2010, marking the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth. It was fully consecrated in 2017.

The library is renowned for its distinctive architecture, designed by Croatian architect Andrija Mutnjaković and opened in 1982.
