The Catholic community in Vasilishki appeared in 1652, in 1658 a Dominican monastery was founded here, in which a wooden church was built. The stone baroque church that we see today was built in 1769. After the suppression of the gentry uprising in 1830, like many other Catholic churches on the territory of modern Belarus, it was transferred to the Orthodox and converted as an Orthodox church, in 1919 it was returned to the Catholics. In 1922-1928 it was reconstructed. After the Great Patriotic War it was closed, in 1980 it was returned to believers.
