The church is named after Saint Brother Albert (Adam Chmielowski), a Polish religious figure known for his work with the destitute.
The parish was formally established in the late 1980s during a period of significant residential expansion in the Oliwa and Przymorze districts.
The building was constructed during a time when church architecture in Poland shifted toward more pragmatic and community-centered layouts.
It is one of the primary religious structures serving the residents of the upper Oliwa terrace.
