Today's church is a former funeral chapel erected in 1338 on the cemetery surrounding Our Lady Church. The legend, however, relates it's erecting with bricklayers, who in this way appreciated Virgin Mary for fortunate finishing erection of the Our Lady Church.
  Since 1583 the church was taken over Society of Jesus, who patronized here until 1773 when the pope Clement XIV abolished the order. In 1875 the monks from the Society of Jesus came back, they live in the adjacent monastery until now.
  Present decor of the temple reflects presence of Jesuits. The polichromy by Franciszek Ignacy Molitor presents:

 • Virgin Mary with the Child and saints Jerome, Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and Cyril; Inscription: "Notum mihi sanctum nomen tuum adiuvabit e am Deus mane diluculo" - relation to the 45-th psalm: "The God will help him in the morning"

Insctiption below: "Ut portet nomen meum cora gentibus et regibus" - He will hold my name to pagans and kings (Acts of the Apostles 9,15)

 • Apotheosis of Francis Xavier and his mission. On the fields are painted converted pagans ( field 1),( field 2), saint Francis showing on the map places of his mission and knight with Spanish armour. In lunetach is presented converting of Indians' chief and the death of saint Francis.
