Architect Tadeusz Jędrzejewski developed new plans for the monumental church. On 11 April 1939 the construction of the parish house was started. Services were also celebrated in Tczew, Starogard and the Free City of Danzig. Unfortunately, the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 destroyed the Polish Parish completely. Rev. Jerzy Kahané was imprisoned and murdered by the Nazis in 1941, a few parishioners also died as a result of persecution, many were expelled from the city. After the war, since 1945 the seat of the parish has been the city of Sopot. The Polish services in Gdynia were celebrated in the Swedish Seaman’s House until about 1970. In 2006 the Gdynia SKUT branch was also liquidated.
