The church was built from 1961 in stages in the Byzantine Basilica style, flanked by twin towers, designed by M Z Avramidis, and completed in 1974. The colourful iconography within was painted by Greek Orthodox iconographer Evangelos Manolios. A plaque on the landing of the Church was unveiled by the Governor of New South Wales Sir Roden Cutler in July 1975 to commemorate Australian and Greek soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice in World War I and World War II.[1]

The church is listed on the Randwick local government heritage register.[1]

The parish has the vital responsibility for being the founder and having executive authority over St Spyridon College.[2]
