Until the second half of the 19th century, Roosendaal had one Roman Catholic church building: St. Jan. Due to the construction of the railway in 1854, the Redemptorists looked for a place to build their church and monastery. In 1866, an emergency church was built, which was quite large, namely 27 by 14 m., and offered space for 200 folding chairs and 400 kneeling chairs, and contained 2 side attars and 4 confessionals. On 29 October 1866, this emergency church was put into use. After 2 years, they still wanted to build the current church, the blessing was on 19 October 1874. The extension was put into use on 25 March 1909. The major restoration was in 1966, in October 1966 it was as good as new again. The arch above the front door is the coat of arms Beatae Mariae Virgini de Perpetuo Succursoo or the Blessed Virgin Mary of Perpetual Help. The tabernacle in the choir shows the 4 church fathers. On either side of the tabernacle kneel 2 wooden angel figures, originating from the Redemptorist Church (H. Verlosserkerk) in Rotterdam. 8 confessionals are placed in the side aisles.
