Dean McNulty chose P.C. Keily the architect of the Cathedrals of Boston and Chicago to design the church in the neo-gothic style.
Pope Pius XI established the diocese of Paterson on December 9, 1937
The minarets are 120 feet tall while the tower is 225 feet high. The church is 88 feet across and 180 feet deep. The front minarets rise to a height of 120 feet, and the tower to a height of 225 feet. Stone columns, 60 feet high, support the English slate roof.
The church was sufficiently completed to allow its dedication on July 31, 1870.
