The parish with its - in 1925 - 2,793 parishioners belonged to the church province of East Prussia of the Church of the Old Prussian Union . It was patronized and there was municipal elections. Church life collapsed in 1945 due to the flight and displacement of the local population . The few Protestant residents living here today orientate themselves towards the parish in the district town of Pisz (Johannisburg) in the Masurian diocese of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .

Catholic
Before 1945 there were very few Catholic church members in the Adlig Kessels region, but their number rose sharply as a result of the war, when numerous new Polish citizens - almost without exception of Catholic denomination - settled in Kociołek Szlachecki. Until 1945 the Catholic residents felt they belonged to the parish church in Johannisburg in the dean's office Masuria II - with its seat in Johannisburg - within the diocese of Warmia , but a separate parish was formed in Kociołek Szlachecki, which was part of the dean's office in Pisz in the diocese of Ełk of the Roman Catholic Church Poland was assigned. The branch churches in Karwik and Rostki (Rostken) were added to the parish .
