Church of Our Lady of the Angels in Horoszki Duże

The Church of Our Lady of the Angels in Horoszki Duże is a Roman Catholic place of worship belonging to the Drohiczyn Diocese. It was constructed between 1933 and 1934 under the supervision of Stanisław Golatowski, the parish priest of St. Elizabeth's Church in Konstantynów. After the completion of construction, the church was consecrated on August 2, 1934. It takes the form of a wooden structure, characteristic of sacral architecture from that period. Initially serving as a public chapel, it became an independent pastoral branch in 1938, ministered by priests from Konstantynów. During World War II, in 1944, the building was expanded with two side chapels, which significantly influenced its architecture, and its re-consecration highlights its growing importance in the region. In 1991, Bishop Jan Mazur of Siedlce established the parish in Horoszki Duże as an independent administrative unit of the Church, marking a milestone in the history of the local community. This church is not only a place of religious worship but also plays a significant role in the cultural life of the region, serving as a center for events and gatherings for residents. Interestingly, built during the challenging interwar period, it has weathered the storms of history, contributing to the spiritual and social unity of the local community.
