A chapel was built in Gedžiūnėliai in 1921. It was an elongated house with a gable roof, an entrance door from the back, and windows divided into three parts. Until 1931, services were held once a month.
Archbishop Romualdas Jalbžikovskis allowed the creation of a parish on the condition that the services would be in Polish. The residents did not agree. Since 1931, services have been held regularly. In 1939, the Daugėliškis pastor Petras Budra moved to Gedžiūnėliai, so for some time the chapel performed the functions of the Gedžiūnėliai–Daugėliškis parish church. Then the construction of a new church began. Due to poor health, priest P. Budra asked to be transferred to another parish. Through the efforts of priest Karolis Gumbaragis, a parish was established in 1941, and a new church was built in 1943, adapting the building of the old chapel. After 1966, the church was restored and painted under the care of priest Jonas Kardelis.
The church is in the shape of a traditional residential house, rectangular in plan, with a single tower and a single nave. The building has a bell tower, a three-walled apse, and an attached sacristy. The front facade is oriented to the southwest. The main entrance is located in the front of the building, through a glazed veranda. The churchyard is surrounded by a stone fence with iron gates.
