The church was built next to the old Pittston Hospital (now the Overlook Professional Center) in 1909 and rebuilt again in 1921 at 1201 Main Street in Pittston, down the hill from the hospital. The church building is now Baloga Funeral Home. The church and cemetery were built by Polish residents of Port Griffith and the Oregon section, becoming one of the largest foreign language speaking congregations in the Scranton Dioceses. At its opening, the cemetery lot was described as a "sloping meadow, and one of the most desirable locations in the Oregon section."
The cemetery is located on the opposite side of the old hospital from the church building, down the back of the hill toward the river. It can be accessed from Overlook Drive or from the end of River Street.
