In the year of its dedication (1914) the church was equipped with pews and stained glass windows, mainly depicting saints, including the patron saints of Poland. Three altars (the main one as well as the Lord Jesus and Our Lady) from the Chicago workshop Daprato were made of wood and polychrome stucco. In 1938, the vault of the temple was decorated with paintings of the Evangelists, and the main body with pictures of St. Joseph and St. Anthony (renovated in 2012). The church was renovated in 1957-1959, during the preparations for the golden anniversary of the parish, and new stations of the Way of the Cross, a baptismal font and new confessionals were installed.
