A powerful impression is created by the monumental five-axis façade of the church in Noble Street, with massive towers on the sides. The white stone architecture elements, such as the frames of the entrances and windows, as well as columns and cornices, contrast with darker colour brickwork of the wall, creating an original effect of great decorative value.
Chronologically it is the second Polish religious center in Chicago, after establishing the St. Stanislaus Kostka parish. In view of the dynamic development of the community, at the beginning of the 1870s Father Adolf Bakanowski, parish priest of St. Stanislaus Kostka, decided to erect a new church.
