St. Wojciech Parish in Bieliny – a Roman Catholic parish belonging to the Ulanów deanery of the Sandomierz diocese. It was established in 1241. It is run by diocesan priests. The parish church of St. Wojciech was built between 1763–1770. History of the parish Beginnings Bieliny owes its existence to the important river artery, the San, which it has been since time immemorial. The nucleus of the settlement was a harbor at the confluence of two rivers – the San and its tributary the Tanew. This harbor was called "Targowisko", which over time grew into a station for river ships. Długosz, in his work "Liber Beneficjorum", called the place "Targowisko" – "Szan przewosz", which means a ferry on the San. Both "Targowisko" and "Szan przewosz" referred to the area of present-day Bieliny. Over time, the construction of river ships developed, which enabled trade, and rafting emerged as an additional occupation for the inhabitants of the settlement. Neither the name "Targowisko" nor "Szan przewosz" lasted. The word Bieliny has its etymology from concepts related to the adjectives: "white", "whiteness", "bright". There are a number of more or less probable versions on this subject. One of them, passed down from generation to generation, links the name to the bright, sandy soils of the area – another – to the name of a ground-hugging perennial (tussilaga – farfara), commonly called coltsfoot. Archaeological research on excavations from the village area has revealed numerous urn graves, testifying to the early settlement of the former primeval forest settlement. Nevertheless, its beginnings are not precisely known. Some hypothetical notes concerning the past of Bieliny are contained in the chronicle of the Bieliny church. And although they have not been confirmed by documents, they can be considered reliable. They concern the consonance of the chieftain Leba's surname with the name of the Bieliny lake – Lebiedienka. Furthermore, the chronicle states that the original settler of Bieliny came from a homeland called Lebedies. The settlement developed on the basis of the river port trade. Over time, from a riverside settlement, Bieliny transformed into an administrative unit. Who and when founded this village and under what law – is unknown.

Church of St. Paraskeva – a historic Greek Catholic church located in Dąbrowica, built in 1906. In 1948, the church was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church. It serves as a branch church of St. Michael the Archangel of the Kolonia Polska parish. The church is an example of brick church architecture, created as a result of searching for a Ukrainian national style based on classical patterns.
