The church was dedicated to Our Lady of the Miracle Medal, and it was designed as a large basilica with a large central nave, transept, and three altars. Its design was heavily influenced by Italian religious architecture, particularly the style of the Pro-Cathedral of Santo Domingo. In 1960, a miracle occurred at the church. A gold medal with a picture of the Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal was discovered on the temple’s rectory floor. Since then, people from all over the city and the Dominican Republic congregate in the church to worship and pray, and many believe the medal is a blessing from heaven.
