In its beginnings, in 1905, the temple was a chapel next to a school. Its current building was inaugurated in 2001. The congregation follows the Maronite rite or Antiochian liturgical tradition and is the seat of the Maronite Eparchy of San Charbel in Buenos Aires (Eparchia Sancti Sarbelii Bonaërensis Maronitarum) that was established by Pope John Paul II in October 1990.

At the moment its seat is vacant because it does not have a bishop. Its apostolic administrator is the priest Habib Chamieh.
