Construction began in 1927 and was completed on September 20, 1936, when Bishop Kazimieras Paltarokas consecrated the church in the name of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is important to note the efforts of Pastor J. Bardišauskas, who, during the church's construction, also built a new rectory, a shelter, and a masonry parish house with a hall and stage.
