As a rule, the patronage over a place of worship and the associated parish community is entrusted to one of the many people whom we venerate as blessed or saints due to their exemplary Christian life. Here, however, we encounter – in my experience, something very rarely found – the patronage of God's Mercy. In the dawning third millennium, Pope John Paul II enriched the church calendar with a corresponding feast, which goes back to the visions of the Polish nun Faustyna, whom he beatified. In a homiletic aid, the following text is found: „One of the particularly precious pearls from John Paul's rich heritage is the ... Sunday of Divine Mercy. In the great Jubilee Year 2000, the Holy Father, on the octave day of Easter – White Sunday – reintroduced the feast of Divine Mercy for the whole Church. The origin of this feast is closely linked to the life story of Karol Wojtyła and can therefore be described as something of his personal gift to the Church of the 21st century.“

The temple was built in 1932 in the village of Wólka Dobryńska, in the Zalesie commune, in the Biała Podlaska district. It was originally named after St. Stanislaus Kostka. The church was built thanks to the efforts of Father Franciszek Michalik. It was designed by the architect Mr. Mazur. The builders of the temple were carpenters Józef Kozerski, Antoni Lewczuk, Wiktor and Antoni Arseniuków, Julian Romaniuk. In 2009, the building was moved by the Arche SA company to its current location. Thanks to the support of the president of this company, Władysław Grochowski, the church was restored.

During this ceremony, a plaque commemorating the founder was placed in the church.
