It is one of eight churches on Antarctica. The chapel is basically a large container of metal, modified so that it resembles a common church, whose interior has electricity and a proper heating system. Religious ceremonies are performed by a deacon, who lives permanently in the villa.
The chapel is relatively new, having opened in the late twentieth century. Currently the chapel is the southernmost Chilean Catholic church, and one of the southernmost of the planet.
The temple is part of the Catholic Military Bishopric of Chile (Obispado Castrense de Chile).
