The French Lazarist played the most important role in the formation of the first Catholic Parish in Bitola in 1856. The founder of the Parish was Father Zan - Zosef Lepavek, who from the day of his arrival took the total care of the spiritual life of the believers. In the following period, in the Parochy were opened school and boarding school. In 1870 on the present location on Sirok Sokak was built a new Catholic Church. This Church build in a baroque style was burned in fire. In 1909, on the same place the present Catholic Church in neo - gothic French style was built.
