The church was built in 1976–78; contributions from Italian Venezuelans led it to be named for that country's patron, Our Lady of Coromoto.[5][6] It is visited by Venezuelans but is not their official national church.[7][8] It is square, with a cross-beam roof of laminated wood. The presbytery is illuminated from above by natural light.[9]
Pope John Paul II visited in 1981.[10][11] On 25 May 1985, it was made a titular church to be held by a cardinal-deacon.[12][13] The title is named Nostra Signora di Coromoto e San Giovanni di Dio, because the church was originally to be dedicated to Saint John of God, but that is not the name of the church.[14]
