Archbishop Romuald Jalbžikovsky granted permission to establish the parish on the condition that services would be held in Polish. The residents disagreed. From 1931, services were held regularly. In 1939, Father Petras Budra, the parish priest of Daugėliškis, moved to Gedžiūnėliai, and for a while, the chapel served as the church for the Gedžiūnėliai-Daugėliškis parish.

Archbishop Romuald Jalbžikovsky granted permission to establish the parish on the condition that services would be held in Polish. The residents disagreed. From 1931, services were held regularly. In 1939, Father Petras Budra, the parish priest of Daugėliškis, moved to Gedžiūnėliai, and for a while, the chapel served as the church for the Gedžiūnėliai-Daugėliškis parish. During this time, the construction of the new church began. Due to poor health, Father Budra requested a transfer to another parish. Thanks to the efforts of Father Karolis Gumbaragis, the parish was established in 1941,
and in 1943, a new church was built, incorporating the structure of the old chapel. After 1966, the church was restored and painted under the care of Father Jonas Kardelis. The church is designed in the traditional form of a residential house, with a rectangular plan, a single tower, and a single nave. The building features a bell tower, a three-sided apse, and an attached sacristy. The front façade faces southwest. The main entrance is located at the front of the building, through a glassed-in veranda. The churchyard is surrounded by a fence made of unmortared stones with iron gates.
