As a result, a Church Construction Committee (Polish: Komitet Budowy Kościoła) was established in early 1923:[2] it was seated at present day 3 Koronowska street and aimed at converting the local dance hall located there into a chapel, which happened in November 1923.

This petition was answered by Primate August Hlond: on 1 July 1933,[2] he authorised the erection of a new parish under the Patron saint of Anthony of Padua, separated from the Holy Trinity community.

The newly created body comprised around 6500 people and its territory covered not only city western settlements (Czyżkówko, Medzyń), but also suburban villages:[3] The first parish priest was Father Jan Baranowski.

A new stage of the parish's development occurred in 1936, when the construction of the church started on the recently acquired plot of Głucha Street.

For the occasion, Cardinal August Hlond, Primate of Poland, made a donation of relics of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Heavy investments were realized in the late 1940s:[2] Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, Primate of Poland, solemnly consecrated the organ and the main altar in 1951.

Between 1972 and 1984, new furniture, decoration and equipment were procured: pews, confessionalss, lighting, flooring, heating, a figure of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as well as paintings.

[3] Inside the church, one can notice four altars:[5] In the chancel, they represent the Millennium of Christianity in Poland (Tysiąclecie chrześcijaństwa w Polsce) and the Second Vatican Council.
