Summary/Abstract: The Parish of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ was funded on the 1st January 1929 and comprised the north-eastern part of the town and its neighboring villages, which were after separated from this new parish and embedded into the older Saint Anthony’s Parish. The Reverend Antoni Machnikowski was the first parish priest and in 1928, he built on this parish premises a temporary church dedicated to St. Michael and parish buildings. Although the construction works started and finished within the times of an economic crisis, it was not until 1936 that the parish managed to pay off loans taken for building the church.
