In 1991, the foundations were poured, and on June 10, 1992, the actual construction of the church began. On September 29, 1992, the cornerstone was laid by the First Bishop of the newly established Łowicz Diocese, Bishop Alojzy Orszulik. The walls of the new church quickly began to rise, and by the end of 1992, they were already 4.8 meters high. The foundations for the towers were also laid. Construction began again in the spring of the following year. Work on the roof was completed in 1994. At the same time, the construction of the church towers was completed. The new church was completed in its shell state in the spring of 1995. Further work was carried out as funds were raised. The turning point was the location of the place of celebration of the Holy Mass on the square next to the new church during the Holy Father's pilgrimage to his homeland in 1999. The next 2 years were spent equipping the interior of the church and preparing for its consecration. On September 22, 2001, 11 years after the parish was established, the church was consecrated by Alojzy Orszulik, Bishop of Łowicz. The church was built in the style of an old Romanesque basilica. Two towers, symmetrically incorporated into the front of the church, constitute the dignity of the entire building. Inside, the high main nave ends with a spacious presbytery, which was designed and built by a team led by the visual artist Jerzy Machaj from Warsaw. On its central wall is placed the Crucified Christ, and below Him two figures: Our Lady of Sorrows and the beloved disciple John.

The monument to Wincenty Witos - the peasant leader of the Polish people's movement, founder and president of PSL "Piast", and three-time Prime Minister of Poland was erected in Łowicz in 2020, but the ceremonial unveiling took place only, due to the pandemic, in 2021.

The historical mural was created on the initiative of the Historical Association of the 10th Infantry Regiment in Łowicz in the Kostka housing estate in Łowicz. The painting commemorates three figures associated with the regiment and Łowicz sports. They are: - boxing enthusiast and physical education teacher, platoon leader Zdzisław "Lelon" Lelonkiewicz; - former Cracovia footballer, referee and PZPN activist, colonel Franciszek Jachieć; - captain Andrzej Drozd, participant of the Polish-Bolshevik war, prisoner of war in the Starobielsk camp, who was murdered in Kharkiv.
