Since the previous church was dilapidated and, from the middle of the 19th century, too small for the increased population of Söhre, the current church was built in 1877, including the previous church tower built around 1400. On November 19, 1877, she was consecrated by Bishop Daniel Wilhelm Sommerwerck . St. Joseph became the secondary patron saint .

In 1977/78 the church, located around 103 meters above sea level , was renovated and a newly furnished main altar was consecrated on October 21, 1978 by Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen . In him were relics of the holy martyrs Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla , St. Bishop and Martyr Oliver and St. Bishop Bernward let in.
