It was commissioned by Cardinal Lercaro, Archbishop of Bologna and the initial contacts were during 1965. The building is of outstanding beauty and originality, mainly using concrete for the bearing members, copper for the roof. Cerrara marbie for the altar and surrounding areas, local sandstone for outside facings, red Cotto Fiorentino Tuscany clay tile flooring. The church has been built with Italian and Finnish technical assistance from Aarne Hollmen, Claes, Holm, Hamilkar Aalto, Olavi Ebeling, Vezio Nava among others.
