This may be the smallest church in the capital, but it boasts a colourful history. Built in the early 18th century for the Primate Teodor Potocki for Jesuits foundation, in 1819, it was transferred into the possession of the Maiden Canonesses. During World War II, an uprising hospital was set up, and after being destroyed in the Uprising, a block of flats was built on the rubble. Rebuilding of the temple finally took place in 1999. One of the patrons of the church is Holy Brother Albert Chmielowski, an artist and participant of the January Uprising (in 1863), who as a monk, devoted his life to the poor and homeless. In his youth he lived for some time in Warsaw. Since 2003, the relics of St. Andrew the Apostle - the first disciple of Christ and brother of St. Peter the Apostle – have been present in the church, making it a truly ecumenical sanctuary.
