History
The parish was founded in 1972, during the construction of the Theatre Square, following the demolition of the Franciscan church and monastery on the main square. Following an agreement between the Communist regime, the Franciscan Order, Archdeacon Léstyán Ferenc and Bishop Márton Áron, the state had the workers' cinema, originally built for car mechanics' workshop, in the Ady district, beyond the railway line, converted into a church, based on the plans of architect Gyenes Tibor. The building was converted into a church, and it also housed a parish and a cantor's apartment. The church was consecrated by Bishop Márton Áron on 28 May 1972. The interior of the new church was decorated using the painted windows, bells, sculptures and organ of the demolished Franciscan church. This made the establishment of the second church and parish possible in Marosvásárhely, which was then still run by Franciscans, and it also made possible for Franciscan monks to remain in the city.
