這棟菁寮殿宇由来自德国建筑师波姆(G.Bohm)设计的。此建筑位於台南县後壁乡，台湾南部。 而此地景之所以成形，与台湾、杨森神父与波姆之间的一段奇遇有关。

       1955年秋，杨森老师即购得土地，并开始为建造殿宇进行募款。 杨森邀请在德国南部以设计殿宇著名的波姆担任建筑师，并由新营地区建筑师杨嘉庆协助施工图绘制。波姆於1955年底完成设计工作。1957年2月宿舍部分先行动工，於8月完工；殿宇则於11月开始兴建，1960年10月18日完工启用。

       The new church project was started in 1955 by a Franciscan father Eric Jansen. He invited a German architect Gottfried Bohm to design the church. It was constructed by a local team and completed in 1960. The church is located in rural Taiwan near Tai Nan. The construction took four years to complete. The little church standing like God's Tent, somewhere in the rice fields of the remote countryside of south Taiwan .
