The side altar is located in the Church, in its left side nave. In 2001, Pope John Paul II awarded the church the title of Minor Basilica. The altar is free-standing.
The side altar is a free-standing, neo-gothic altar. The altar is carved, made partly of wood and partly of stucco. In the past, it was made using only natural ingredients: lime, gypsum, bone or leather glue, marble meal and dyes. Classic stucco allowed to obtain various decorative effects on the wooden surface. It was used to form intricate ornaments, figures and architectural details, i.e. so-called stuccowork, as well as smooth, mirror-like coatings that imitated the look of marble slabs.
The dominant color of the altar is azure, blue and decorative elements are made in gold. The altar is made in neo-Gothic style.
The altarpiece, or retable, is depicted in the upper part of the statue of Jesus Christ.
In the centre there is a picture of two persons, The side parts of the altar are two similar statues of angels.
