The history of the Parish of the Discovery of the Holy Cross in Niebylec can be divided into two development phases: Konieczkowa phase, spanning from 1464 to 1650 and Niebylec phase, spanning from 1550 until now. For that reason, it is called Konieczkowsko – Niebylecka Parish. The Konieczkowa Parish was funded by four born brothers: Marcjusz, Mikolaj, Jan and Stanislaw Machowski on 14th June 1460. It was established by the Bishop of Cracow Jan Gruszczynski, who was also both the chancellor of Poland and contemporary Polish Primate. Konieczkowa Parish district included four villages: Konieczkowa, Jawornik, Nowa Wies and Gwoznica. Niebylec town joined the Parish in 1509 and a village Malowka in 1608. The first Parish – Priest was Stanislaw from Opatowiec. The Niebylec Parish was funded by Janusz Romer, contemporary owner of Niebylec. It was established by Cracow Suffragan Bishop Wojciech Lipnicki. The Niebylec Parish district was the same as the Konieczkowa District. Two villages Blizianka and Gwozdzianka joined it in 1782. Gwoznica left the Parish district in 1864 and Jawornik in 2008. The Konieczkowa Parish and later the Niebylec Parish belonged to the Pilzno Decanate unlil 1608.
