In 1906, the parish was partially destroyed by a major fire, but was restored in the following years.
With the creation of the Diocese of Uruguaiana, on August 15, 1910, by the bull Praedecessorum Nostrorum by Pope Pius X, the parish became the Sant'ana Cathedral.
Later, in 1926, it was demolished since there was already a project for the construction of a bigger building, which was under construction; it was finished in 1959. It took 33 years to complete.
