A very old chalice was interesting from the church monuments. The pedestal and handle had a Gothic style. Both parts were hexagonal and precious stones were set in them. At the bottom of the chalice was a German inscription about the donor of the chalice Krištof von Redern from November 26, 1618. On the other side was the aristocratic coat of arms of the Redern family. On the pedestal of the chalice was the inscription: Ecclesiae Helmesiensis 1721 "/ ie the church was dedicated to the church village of Halmešská in 1721 /. The cup itself was also hexagonal, but from the later Renaissance period. The rare chalice came to the village for the church by gift or purchase. The nobleman von Redern was a feudal lord around today's Liberec and Friedland in Northern Bohemia. He came to our surroundings in the fighting of the rebel troops of Gabriel Bethlen and his ally General Mansfeld. Fights between the imperial and insurgent troops also took place in the vicinity of Bratislava and Trnava in the years 1619 to 1625 at the beginning of the so-called Thirty Years' War. When the old church was too early for the growing community and had static building defects, it was replaced by a new church.
It was built in the spirit of historical romanticism as an imitation of the Romanesque style in the years 1860-1863 and was consecrated again by St. Mary Magdalene. It was built by Italian builders. They made the building material themselves in the district part called Dolinka. It cost about 20,000 gold. The interior is in neo-Gothic style. In the space are sculptures of St. Anton of Padua, st. Francis of Assisi and St. Joseph. They are the work of if. sculptor Petr Rungaldier from Tyrol / part of Austria /. The altars are in the Gothic historical style. The main altar was made in Austria, part of Tyrol, the side, on which is the Divine Heart, was made by Šefčovič Pál from the village of Kerestur in 1889. The second side altar was made in Budapest and the organ in Vienna was made by Peter Titz. The church was painted in 1936 by ac. painter Edmund Maššani, a native of Nitra and ak. painter of sacral buildings and restorer Eugen Petrikovič, a native of Kováriec. There are three bells on the church tower. The largest and smallest were killed by the Fischer brothers in Trnava in 1922 with the financial help of American Slovaks. Two bells from the old church were stolen by Austrian and Hungarian soldiers in World War I for the production of military weapons.
