The modern history of Łaźniew began in 1908 when the priest Franciszek Toporski bought local property as a financial backing for constructions being conducted in Warsaw and involved St Jakub’s church and an educational centre for boys located on Barska street in Ochota. In exchange for education and care, children and youth from poor families spent summers in Łaźniew cultivating land, growing vegetables and fruit or caring for animals. Just before the Second World War the facility was taken over by the Orionine Fathers instituted in Italy in order to help the poor. The local parish was established in 1950 thanks to the intercession of primate Kardynał Wyszyński. The construction of the church lasted for two years and ended with consecrating the church of St. Antoni of Padua on the 19th June 1960. Soon the Orionine Fathers began ministry to the sick, retreatal-rehabilitation terms, vacations for the disabled and care over the elderly and the homeless (they were supported by the Pallottines from Otwock and the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary from Szymanów). In 2009 in Łaźniew, a complex Mercy centre of St. Alojzy Orione consisting of a home for the poor, a medical facility and a divinity school was opened. In the area of the facility we can also find Stations of the Cross as well as shrines with statues of the Mother of God, St. Antoni, St. Józef and Gracious Christ.
