In 1936, the heir to the Łazy estate, Stanisław Karnkowski, distributed his dowry to his sisters. One of them, Izabela, received pine forests south of the village of Bromierzyk. Izabela, a nun of the Poor Clares order, sold her share from her brother and, as a keepsake, commissioned the construction of a small church at the intersection of the Famułki-Bieliny and Karolinów-Łazy roads. Construction was completed in March 1937, and services for the residents were held there until the fall of 1939. After the war, the church was in ruins. The parish priest of Zawady, Father Kuplicki, ordered the demolition of the remains of the church and the construction of a chapel, five times smaller than the original church. With the consent of the parish priest of Zawady, Father Janusz Kowalczyk assumed patronage over the chapel.

The Benedictines left Sochaczew in the second half of the 13th century under a privilege granted by Bolesław, Duke of Mazovia, and a parish church dedicated to St. Lawrence, deacon and martyr, was erected in place of the Church of the Holy Trinity. The church was consecrated in 1257 by Andrzej Ciołek, Bishop of Płock. However, earlier, in 1244, Siemowit I, Duke of Mazovia, brought the Dominican Order to Sochaczew and founded a monastery and church dedicated to St. Nicholas, Bishop. This church was built on the banks of the Bzura River, which flows through the town. The wooden parish church stood on a slope until the 17th century. It was vaulted in front of the high altar, and the nave was covered with planks. Initially, it was roofed with tiles, and later with shingles. The Sochaczew rectory lacks a foundation erection, and episcopal visits attest to its loss in fires that ravaged the city and its churches. The parish church had St. Lawrence as its patron saint.
