A Catholic parish has existed in Dubno since 1612. Services were held in a wooden church until 1811. After a fire, a stone structure was built on the site of the wooden one, the church operated there until 1945, when the building was confiscated from the local Catholic community and subsequently converted into a sports school in 1959. Showers and toilets were installed in the sacristy. The organ and interior furnishings were removed in the 1960s, and seven ornate church altars were irretrievably destroyed by the communist authorities. The Catholic parish reclaimed the dilapidated church in 1993 and began restoration work, which continues to this day. A statue of Christ stands on the building's façade. A modern organ, manufactured by the German firm Josef Weimbs Orgelbau, was donated to the church by Catholics from Germany. Its installation began in November 2023, and the first solemn liturgy accompanied by the organ took place in the spring of 2024 during the parish's patronal feast day.
