The church is located in the settlement of Mužlja, which was founded in 1888 and inhabited by 400 Hungarian families. The church was built in 1902 with funds from the treasury. The organ comes from the church in Jabuke. The Salesians have run the parish since 1965, and a boarding home for secondary-school boys has been built on the parish grounds. The home was blessed on 8 June 2002.
