The parish was turned over to the diocesan clergy in 1963.

Its portico of stepped concrete and quadrangular pilars with gable capitals is gated and bears the name, “Tanza Parish Church.” Above the portico is a hexagonal window and the niche of the patroness, and at the peak of the pediment is a cross with a nimbus. The wall flanking as well as the bell tower in the epistle side are recessed.
