The church is located in the village of Maironiai, 0.6 km south of the Kelmė-Tytuvėnai road, on the right bank of the Dubysa Valley. The first church-chapel was built in 1782 by Juozas Stankevičius, a landowner from Saudininkai.
In 1817, Ksaveras Stanevičius allocated a plot of land and promised to support a priest. The chapel became a filial church of the Lyduvėnai parish. In 1864, Father Adomas Galkevičius was exiled to Siberia for reading a rebel proclamation, and his clerical title was revoked.
From 1909 to 1914, a branch of the Lithuanian Catholic Temperance Society operated. In 1927, a village named Maironiai was established on the land of the parceled Saudininkai estate. The church features folk architectural forms, a rectangular plan, a three-sided apse, and a turret. It has three altars, including an 18th-century painting "The Three Kings."
