It depends on the Roman missionary Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, yet is exceptionally not exempt but a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia.

Its only place of worship is Teone Church in Vaiaku, on Fongafale island in Tuvalu. The current Superior is Reynaldo B. Getalado, M. S. P., appointed in 2014.
