The Church was inaugurated on November 14th, 1987 by Father Dominic Jir who took over from Father Taylor as Cathedral Administrator on October 5th, 2000. St. Mary's Songu became an outstation of St. Joseph's Nyiman under the pastoral care of Father James Hunter when Nyiman was carved out of OLPH Cathedral.
