The parish was established by Bishop Zdzisław Goliński on 5.11.1951. However, independent pastoral care in the form of a so-called branch was established here on 30.01.1946 by Bishop Teodor Kubina. The local community established a Building Committee, which undertook the work of building the church in the years 1935-1937. The church was consecrated on 30.05.1937 by Father Ludwik Muszyński, Dean of Gorzkowice. Pastoral care was initially provided by priests commuting from Bogdanów, and from 1941 a priest permanently resided in Wola Krzysztoporska. Thanks to the efforts of Father Jan Brachowski, the branch and first parish priest, two side chapels were added to the church in 1960, and in 1969 a vestry and a second sacristy were added. In June 1994, on the initiative of Father Janusz Chylewski, another expansion was undertaken, two side naves, a tower, a choir and a porch were added, increasing the usable area by 100 m2, and the following year the presbytery was modernized. The ceremonial consecration of the restored church was performed by Archbishop Stanisław Nowak on 15.12.1996. On the parish premises there is also a cemetery chapel, founded in 1978 by a family from Wygoda.

A dam reservoir on the Luciąża River, the second largest reservoir in Piotrków County with a water surface area of 217 ha and a capacity of 7.34 million m³. Located in Piotrków County in the communes of Łęki Szlacheckie (70% of the coastline), Rozprza and Gorzkowice. In the 1960s, a comprehensive plan for irrigation and meadow management in the Luciąża River valley was developed. Its construction began in 1986 and it was put into service in 1998. During construction, the inhabitants of the villages of Kuźnica Żerechowska, Łęgoń, Wygoda, Trzciniec and Borowiec were relocated, after which a chapel protruding from the water surface remained. The purpose of the reservoir was from the beginning to irrigate meadows for milk production and to serve as a water retention facility. Currently, it is a popular place of recreation and relaxation in Piotrków County. It is also appreciated by anglers who catch pike, crucian carp, roach, carp, bream and many other species of fish. The maximum depth of water near the dam is 12 meters. In the reservoir, during the season, water equipment rentals are available: boats, kayaks, water bikes. There are numerous camping sites and camping houses around the reservoir.

The Rozprza parish is one of the very old ones. It may date back to the 11th century. The original church was founded by Polish kings. A new wooden one was built in its place. In the years 1763-67 Szymon Zaremba, the castellan of Sieradz, built a brick church here, consecrated on 19 October 1777 by Ignacy Kozierowski, the suffragan of Gniezno. It survived until World War I, when, thanks to the efforts of Father Stanisław Szablewski, the current church was built according to the design of Feliks Nowicki. The construction was completed in 1922 by Father Bolesław Korwin Szymanowski. Thanks to the efforts of Father Marian Minor, the presbytery was remodelled and a new marble altar was built in it, and the church was covered with galvanised sheet metal.
